Abstract :
Bionic propulsive mechanism is a hot research topic in robotics field. Robofish, as an ultimate carrier of the research results, should exhibit its advantages in practice. First, the requirements of underwater archaeology to underwater vehicles are briefly analyzed. Then the feasibility of SPC-II robofish to perform underwater task is explained in velocity, maneuverability, comparison with UUV (unmanned underwater vehicle), etc. A scheme for underwater archaeology assisted by SPC-II based on hovering dive is presented. Experiments validate this scheme that makes up to SPC-II for lack of dynamic positioning and supplies reference to future research
