    Abstract: A water-air amphibious cross-medium bio-robotic flying fish includes a body, pitching pectoral fins, variable-structure pectoral fins, a caudal propulsion module, a sensor module and a controller. The caudal propulsion module is controlled to achieve underwater fish-like body-caudal fin (BCF) propulsion, and the variable-structure pectoral fins is adjusted to achieve air gliding and fast splash-down diving motions of the bio-robotic flying fish. The coordination between the caudal propulsion module and the pitching pectoral fins is controlled to achieve the motion of leaping out of water during water-air cross-medium transition. The ambient environment is detected by the sensor module, and the motion mode of the bio-robotic flying fish is controlled by the controller.

    Abstract: A biomimetic robotic manta ray includes a head cabin, a central cabin, a pair of pectoral fins and a caudal fin cabin. The pectoral fin includes a crank-rocker mechanism and a bevel gear mechanism. The biomimetic robotic manta ray achieves undulatory propulsion through a coordinated periodic motion of the crank-rocker mechanism. A complex closed motion trail of the tail end of the pectoral fin of the manta ray is traced through the coordination of the bevel gear mechanism and the crank-rocker mechanism. The biomimetic robotic manta ray achieves a combined motion of two vertical undulations superimposed on the pectoral fin of a natural manta ray. The motion trail, which has an important effect on the efficient motion of the manta ray, of the tail end of the pectoral fin is approximately simulated.
