Amphibious snake-like robots are advantageous than traditional snake-like robots for their adaptability in aquatic environments. This paper presents a novel amphibious snake-like robot. The mechanism and control system of the robot are illustrated. A simplified Serpenoid Curve is used to generate the basic undulation of the robot. Three-dimensional gaits are generated by combining undulations of the robot on the horizontal and vertical planes. Novel gaits are found, including a S-shape rolling gait on the ground and a diving gait in the water. Experiments have been done to validate the gaits and show the performances of the gaits under different control parameters.

Attitude Control for an underwater vehicle working in shallow wavy water is an important capability. In shallow water this mission most likely will be disturbed by the large surge induced hydrodynamic forces acting on the underwater vehicle. In this paper, the second order wave drift force affecting severely the underwater vehicle in shallow water are presented. On the basis of wave force analysis, three dimension disturbances caused by wavy surgy water are measured and a control system using least squares multi-order data fitting polynomial prediction and fuzzy compensation combined with PID controller is put forward. The experimental results show that the control system for disturbance of surge and wave is feasible and effective.

Biological fish propelled by wide paired pectoral foils is attractive for the special characteristics as their nature samples. Advantages and limitations of two groups of the bionic flatten pectoral foils classified by actuation arrangement are summarized. Key flapping properties of cow-nosed ray affecting its driving performance are obtained. Simplified driving method and typical theoretical postures for the designed bionic wide pectoral foil is analyzed and verified through experiments. A bionic fish based on this kind of foil has been developed and tested in air and water. Various postures designed imitating cow-nosed ray in air have also been verified. Furthermore, the swimming performance tests in water show that the bionic fish can achieve maximum forward swim speed of 0.7 times of body length per second and an excellent turning maneuverability with a small radius.
One of the prerequisites for AFM based nanomanipulation is that the position of the target nanoparticle can be stable controlled within a known area, while this prerequisite is still hindered by the uncertainties incl...
