Modeling and control of swimming gaits for fish-like robots using coupled nonlinear oscillators

Fish have perfect body mechanisms and swimming modes for underwater locomotion, and provide ideal models for the propulsor design of fish robots. This thesis investigates modeling and control of swimming gaits for multiple degree of freedom (DOF) fish-like robots. An experimental-based approach is c...
