Fish-like swimming prototype of mobile underwater robot

In this paper, authors present a new approach to the design of a mobile underwater robot inspired by a fish. They describe a prototype of a self-designed and a self-made mobile underwater robot called the CyberFish, which resembles fish in the way it looks and behaves. In the beginning, a short consideration on fish-like swimming is presented. Then the biological inspiration for swimming robots are described by means of comparison of robots parts to fish organs. In the next section authors focus on electronic control system as well as on applications written in C/C++ that are used to control the robot in three different modes.
