Abstract
Now-a-days, exploring underwater is a difficult activity to do and requires specialized equipment to explore it. Many studies so far have proven that bio-inspired robotic fish such as stingray robots have many advantages for use as underwater exploration. One of them is the manta ray which can show excellent swimming ability by flapping the pectoral fins with large amplitude. By studying the movement behavior of genus Mobula, the development of biomimetic robots has grown exponentially in recent years. But this technology requires expensive development costs, and the prototypes produced are heavy. Therefore, the development of low-cost bio-inspired Swimming Robot (SRob) using embedded controller with internet of things (IOT) is proposed and presented in this paper. SRob is designed with a small size and lightweight compared to other conventional swimming robots and is well equipped with 6 servo motors, ADXL335 accelerometer 3-axis, 2 Lipo batteries 7.4V, ESP01 Wi-Fi module and Arduino Mega. The RemoteXY app that works like a remote control will be connected to the Arduino Mega using the ESP01 Wi-Fi module to control servo motors and obtain readings of the sensors. Based on the experimental results, the servo motor used to produce flapping motion can be controlled precisely while producing a large amplitude of motion. In addition, the position control for the compact SRob can be realized and determined correctly while swimming in the water.
Highlights
Numerous studies have demonstrated that robots are effective in medical [1], rehabilitation [2,3,4,5,6,7], rescue operations [8,9,10], automobiles, and manufacturing [11,12]
The main objectives of this project are to develop the manta ray swimming robot (SRob) using Arduino and WiFi module, to control and monitor manta ray swimming robot using RemoteXY application and ADXL335 accelerometer and to evaluate the movement of manta ray swimming robot based on angle of servo motor
SRob has been equipped with various components, including 6 servo motors, an ADXL335 3-axis accelerometer, 2 Lipo batteries, an ESP01 WiFi module, and an Arduino Mega, to achieve the desired movement and speed
Summary
Numerous studies have demonstrated that robots are effective in medical [1], rehabilitation [2,3,4,5,6,7], rescue operations [8,9,10], automobiles, and manufacturing [11,12]. Robotics has been used in a variety of industries for many years and has provided humans with numerous benefits. The concept of internet or web-based controls for robots and the home environment is still in its early stages. The Internet offers lowcost communication routes and can be used for telephony. Researchers across the world are interested in using the internet to control robots as part of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR)
