The RoboTuna is a robotic fish project involving a series of robotic fish designed and built by a team of scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US. The project started in 1993.

Built to simulate the action of a fish, the RoboTuna was designed by engineers at MIT to see if a robot submarine could mimic the incredibly efficient way tuna swim. The metallic tuna proved to use less energy and to be more maneuverable than other robotic submarines.

1994年9月21日 · Consider the fish: highly maneuverable and an effortless swimmer, this animal 160 million years in the making is superbly adapted to its watery environs. Now, in work that could lead to miniature submarines with similar attributes, MIT engineers have developed the first robotic version of nature's piscine wonder.

MIT 计算机科学和人工智能实验室的研究人员在《Science Robotics》期刊上发表论文，报告他们利用一种软体机器鱼去监视生活在斐济珊瑚礁里的鱼。 机器鱼 SoFi 大小和行为与真鱼尽可能的相似，通过超声使用一个防水游戏手柄近距离控制，电池续航力约 40 分钟，而人类潜水员在水下的时间一般也很少超过一个小时，所以时间是足够了。 和真鱼一样，SoFi 使用尾巴驱动，每秒游行速度 21.7 厘米。 MIT研发的机器鱼. 我们已经看到许多动物行为研究者用机器人近距离研究他 …

1994 年，美国 麻省理工学院 的研究人员通过长时间的观察金枪鱼的游动情况，研制成功了世界上第一条真正意义上的仿生 机器金枪鱼 （RoboTuna）。该机器鱼是一条长约1.2 米，由2843 个零件组成的，具有高级推进系统的机器金枪鱼。

1995: RoboTuna “机器人金枪鱼（RoboTuna）”是麻省理工学院学生的创意，他们希望为潜艇开发推进系统。 Robo Tuna是仿照大西洋 蓝鳍金枪鱼 制作的，有2843个部分，包括肋骨、肌腱和椎骨等。

We developed an automated calibration routine for the position and load goad sensors, using the motor encoders and supplied torque to classify the built system. Characteristics of the mechanism and sensor performance are now easily, quickly and routinely monitored.

The RoboTuna is an eight link, pulley-driven robot modeled after the swimming motion and geometry of a Bluefin Tuna [32]. It is mounted on a carriage at the MIT Testing Tank, a towing tank...

RoboTuna I is a robotic fish created by David Barrett as part of his PhD thesis at MIT. It is the very first functional robotic fish ever developed and created.| Overview

2023年2月6日 · Now, researchers at MIT and their colleagues — including one from the original RoboTuna team — have come up with an innovative approach to building deformable underwater robots, using simple repeating substructures instead of unique components.
