仿生水下机器人研究现状及其发展趋势

仿生水下机器人以其高度灵活性及逐渐智能化的特点,成为近年来机器人领域研究的热点。仿生水下机器人按照模仿水下生物的运动方式可分为:仿鱼水下机器人、仿多足爬行动物水下机器人和仿蠕虫水下机器人。文中具体地阐述了这三类中具有代表性的仿生水下机器人的特点。随着科学技术的发展,仿生水下机器人在智能材料制成的驱动装置、游动机理方面会不断地完善,在个体的智能化和群体的协作方面也会有很大的发展。

Present State and Tendency of Bionic Underwater Robot

Because of high flexibility and intelligence, bionic underwater robots have become one of the focuses of robotics in recent years. According to the locomotion method of imitating underwater creatures, bionic underwater robot can be classified into three classes: fish robot, walking underwater robot and worming underwater robot. The main characteristics of the typical robots of each class are described in this paper. With the development of science and technology, bionic underwater robot will be improved in driving system made-up by smart materials and locomotion theories gradually, individual intelligence and team cooperation.
