Effects on Trajectory of a Spear Using Movement of Robotic Fish Equipped with Spear Shooting Mechanism

In Japan, the disruption of ecosystems caused by alien fish in lakes and ponds is a major issue. To address this problem, we propose that the robotic fish COMET can assist in alien fish extermination by adding the function of spear shooting. The way of extermination is that when COMET finds an alien...

description In Japan, the disruption of ecosystems caused by alien fish in lakes and ponds is a major issue. To address this problem, we propose that the robotic fish COMET can assist in alien fish extermination by adding the function of spear shooting. The way of extermination is that when COMET finds an alien fish, let COMET approach an alien fish without being wary it and spear it. In this study, we investigated the spear shooting process under different movement conditions to determine the impact on the accuracy of the trajectory of the spear. The results confirmed that a certain set of conditions can improve the accuracy of hitting the target with a spear using specific movements of the robotic fish.
