ROBOTUNA By: Ricky Garvie Dylan Kaplan Devin post
The Designby: Dylan Kaplan • The RoboTuna Is a complex device used to study the way fish swim underwater. • The RoboTuna’s body was built to be lightweight witch didn’t happen in the end. • The tail moved left and right like the actual blue fin tuna. • The RoboTuna’s skin was made of a material called Lycra. • Lycra is a type of foam it has a hard out side and a soft inside. • The RoboTuna had 4 fins on its body. • The fishes tail is moved by a motor which is almost completely silent
Past and Future WorkBy : Ricky Garvie • The Past: They ran three tests on this robot. • One: They checked the actuators, sensors and control software while the RoboTuna was parked on the dock. • Two: In this test they tested the ability of the RoboTuna to swim. • Three: They tested the speed and agility of it swimming. • The Future: There is Two problems put in questions that need to be solved in the future. • One question is: How will you fix the flaw in the back of the tuna as it swims? • The second is: What is the changes in the body-wave/tail-foil parameters on this flow?
The PurposeBy Devin Post • RoboTuna is used to study the way fish swim. • If it is built right the fish will be very maneuverable and will swim with ease. • The RoboTuna Is so diverse that the motion it swims is realistically the same as a real blue fin tuna. • The RoboTuna can accurately target objects to go to. • The RoboTuna is made by precise measurements and high-tech engineering. • The RoboTuna is so diverse that it is to hard to make another model. • The RoboTuna was used to advance A.U.V. technology ( Autonomous Underwater Vehicle ).
