    Abstract: The apparatuses, methods and systems for harnessing fluid flow with flexible mechanical transducers include mechanisms that include flexible elements with strained deformations. In some implementations, oscillations of strained deformations in fins are excited by a moving fluid. By coupling the fin structure to an electrical generator and/or pump, energy from the moving fluid can be converted into electrical energy or used to perform useful mechanical work. In some implementations, the fin may be coupled to a motor or other actuator which causes the strained deformations to move, thereby imparting force onto the fluid to move or mix fluid or perform other useful work.

    Abstract: A highly maneuverable craft is disclosed, having undulating fins of a light-weight material that may undulate along the horizontal axis of the craft and/or rotate 360 degrees and continuously about the central longitudinal axis of the craft. The fins may be actuated by motors coupled to the fins and coupled to the exterior of the craft via circumferential bands, which may serve as tracks or channels along which the motors run. The circumferential bands may serve as reinforcing components, allowing the motors to exert torque against the body of the craft. An on-board battery may power the motors via electrical circuits extending around the bands. The position and travel of the motors about the bands may be controlled by a central processing unit.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for an unmanned underwater vehicle that utilizes at least one flexible robotic fin to provide a highly maneuverable vessel with station-keeping performance in tight spaces, close to ocean structures or missions where a low-speed or station-keeping vehicle is required. A propeller is also provided for providing the main propulsion during high-speed transition with assistance provided by the flexible robotic fin. The vehicle includes sonar and camera equipment as well as a plurality of other sensors for achieving navigation and communication functions while surveying the underwater marine environment. A system controller and motor controller are synchronized to provide deflection commands to ray elements in the flexible robotic fin to achieve particular maneuvers such as pitch, yaw, and roll in confined spaces. The commands are traveling waves that undulate the fin precisely and for station-keeping the commands are opposing wave commands that fix the vehicle at one position.
