Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine the characteristics of a fish type robot body. The robot surveyed is untethered and formed of a flexible urethane. The motion mechanism of the robot is composed of a shape-memory alloy type artificial muscle. The mechanism mimics the swimming motion of a subcarangiform fish. The characteristics of the flexible body and techniques to control posture of the robot are discussed. The flexural rigidity of the body was examined by an experiment about the elastostatic bending of the body. The output moment of the motion mechanism was estimated using the results of an experiment.
