  • Abstract
    This article describes a self-propelled dolphin robot that aims to create a stable and controllable experimental platform. A viable bioinspired approach to generate diverse instances of dolphin-like swimming online via a center pattern generator (CPG) network is proposed.The characteristic parameters affecting three-dimensional (3-D) swimming performance are further identified and discussed. Both interactive and programmed swimming tests are provided to illustrate the validity of the present scheme.
