Abstract :
The paper deals with the design and
development of an underwater stingray mechanism bot.
In this study, a unique underwater propulsion system
based on stingray biomimicry is proposed. The device's
flexible and streamlined motion is modelled after a
Skotch-Yoke mechanism coated in a silicon rubber sheet.
The main goal of this project is to create an economical,
effective, and environmentally friendly underwater
propulsion system that can be applied to a variety of tasks
such as underwater surveillance, marine research, and
ocean exploration. Traditional underwater propulsion
systems may be expensive and detrimental to the marine
environment; the suggested mechanism offers a less
expensive and more environmentally friendly substitute.
Flexible, long-lasting, and resistant to a variety of
external variables are made possible by the employment
of silicone rubber sheet and acrylic sheet material in the
mechanism design. Experimental testing of the suggested
underwater propulsion system based on stingray
biomimicry has yielded excellent results, suggesting
potential for usage in a variety of underwater
applications.
