Abstract

We introduce an enhanced iteration of OpenFish, a previously developed open-source soft robotic fish. The original model, developed at Delft University of Technology, successfully emulated thunniform swimming through a unique propulsion system utilizing both active and passive tail segments. This design aimed to optimize speed and efficiency while fostering future advancements in soft robotic fish research. To further enhance OpenFish, we undertook a redesign process, making modifications to the fish hull and internal components. These changes aimed to simplify construction, address waterproofing issues, and facilitate the development of an autonomous version of the fish. Our work encompasses an updated description of the construction process, customization options, and detailed insights into hardware implementation, including waterproofing techniques for the soft robotic fish.

流体相互作用研究：流体动力机器人（FISHR）——仿生软体机器鱼的扩展

我们介绍了OpenFish的增强版本，这是一个之前开发的开源软体机器鱼。最初的模型由代尔夫特理工大学开发，通过利用主动和被动尾翼的独特推进系统成功地模拟了均匀游泳。该设计旨在优化速度和效率，同时促进软性机器鱼研究的未来发展。为了进一步增强OpenFish，我们进行了重新设计，对鱼的外壳和内部组件进行了修改。这些变化旨在简化结构，解决防水问题，并促进自主版本鱼的开发。我们的工作包括对施工过程的最新描述，定制选项以及对硬件实现的详细见解，包括软机器鱼的防水技术。

期刊介绍： HardwareX is an open access journal established to promote free and open source designing, building and customizing of scientific infrastructure (hardware). HardwareX aims to recognize researchers for the time and effort in developing scientific infrastructure while providing end-users with sufficient information to replicate and validate the advances presented. HardwareX is open to input from all scientific, technological and medical disciplines. Scientific infrastructure will be interpreted in the broadest sense. Including hardware modifications to existing infrastructure, sensors and tools that perform measurements and other functions outside of the traditional lab setting (such as wearables, air/water quality sensors, and low cost alternatives to existing tools), and the creation of wholly new tools for either standard or novel laboratory tasks. Authors are encouraged to submit hardware developments that address all aspects of science, not only the final measurement, for example, enhancements in sample preparation and handling, user safety, and quality control. The use of distributed digital manufacturing strategies (e.g. 3-D printing) is encouraged. All designs must be submitted under an open hardware license.
