An Underwater Glider with Muscle—Actuated Buoyancy Control and Caudal Fin Turning

An Underwater Glider with Muscle—Actuated Buoyancy Control and Caudal Fin Turning

Underwater robotic gliders exploit gravity and buoyancy for long-distance cruising with ultra-low energy consumptions, making them ideal for open ocean surveying operations. However, the gliding-based motion generation principle also prevents their maneuverability, limiting their use in the short di...
