Abstract

Amphibious robots are the combination version of underwater and land robots. It is more versatile. Compared with simple land robot and underwater robot, it could adapt to more complex external environment, do some detective works, such as detect soil quality, detect water quality, and it could also be used for coastline patrol in military. It has a very broad development prospect. Compared with quadruped or hexapod robots, amphibious biped robots have simpler structure and easier maintenance. In this paper, a duck-like robot was developed. Firstly, this paper introduced the mechanical structure of swimming-fin of duck-like robot; secondly, introduced the hardware and software platform of the duck-like robot; thirdly, modeled and analyzed leg of this duck-like robot. Then, basic characteristics evaluation of a duck-like Robot has been carried out.
