A new type of fish-like underwater microrobot
Abstract
This paper presents a new prototype model of an underwater fish-like microrobot utilizing ionic conducting polymer film (ICPF) actuator as the servo actuator to realize swimming motion with three degrees of freedom. A biomimetic fish-like microrobot using ICPF actuator as a propulsion tail fin and a buoyancy adjuster for the swimming structure in water or aqueous medium is developed. The overall size of the underwater prototype fish shaped microrobot is 45 mm in length, 10 mm in width, and 4 mm in thickness. It has two tails with a fin driven respectively, a body posture adjuster, and a buoyancy adjuster. The moving characteristic of the underwater microrobot is measured by changing the frequency of input voltage from 0.1-5 Hz in water and the amplitude of input voltage from 0.5-10 V. The experimental results indicate that changing the amplitude and frequency of input voltage can control the swimming speed of proposed underwater microrobot.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
