Modular Undulatory Robotic Fish
The MUBot is a research platform designed to investigate the modeling of fluid/body interactions and hydrodynamics as well as to test control strategies such as CPGs and motion primitives in bioinspired robotic systems.
This robot was designed with moudlarity in mind so that the body mophologies of various body/caudal fin fish species could be easily mimiced.
