Abstract

Deals with (1) development of a three-motor-driven mechanical pectoral fin (3MDMPF) and its hydrodynamic characteristics and (2) development of an autonomous underwater vehicle equipped with the pair of 3MDMPFs named III and its swimming performance. The flapping motion 3MDMPF can produce is effective in increasing the thrust force. BASS Ill has high maneuverability such as ascending and descending both in forward and backward directions, turning at almost same point and lateral swimming.
