Design and simulation of bionic flapping wing robot for underwater hull inspection
To achieve the working demand of underwater hull inspection,a bionic flapping robot was designed for un-derwater hull inspection.In this paper,the overall structure of the robot is firstly designed based on the principle of bionics.The stability and flexibility of the robot in the underwater environment are improved through the mutual coordination design of the body and limb structure.Secondly,the simulation experiment of the fluttering motion process of the bionic fluttering mechanism of the robot was carried out by FLOW Simulation software to verify the rationality and feasibility of the design.The results show that the bionic flapping wing robot has good attitude adjustment ability and superior stability performance,and it can be used for the underwater hull inspection.
