Modeling and Motion Control of Underwater Snake Robot
To address the autonomous swimming difficulty of an underwater snake robot in a complex underwater environment,this study designed an underwater snake robot mechanism.A kinematic model was established based on the snake motion mechanism,and a motion control method based on fuzzy control and a central pattern generator(CPG)was proposed.The CPG model was constructed by several Hopf oscillators with double-coupled chain network structure after the stability analysis of the limit cycle in a single Hopf oscillator model,and a fuzzy controller and the CPG model were introduced to form a closed-loop control network.The simulation and experiment of an underwater snake robot were carried out.The prototype can complete the experiments of linear meandering movement,left and right turning movement,and U-shaped movement.The experimental results show that the underwater snake robot not only has good stability but also can maintain superior flexibility and maneuverability in the three motion modes.
