Abstract
A robotic fish comprises one or more torque reaction engines and a fish body, wherein the torque reaction engine cyclically oscillates and causes a wave to propagate across the fish body, including through a flexible wing comprising a disk, accelerating thrust fluid and propelling the robotic fish.
Claims1
A robotic fish comprising a wing and a plurality of torque reaction engines (“TREs”) secured to the wing, wherein the plurality of TREs cause the wing to translate or rotate through and accelerate a surrounding thrust fluid, wherein the wing comprises a disk and the plurality of TREs form a matrix of TREs in the disk.
