Design, analysis, and simulation of a planar serial–parallel mechanism for a compliant robotic fish with variable stiffness
Biological evidence suggests that fish use muscles to stiffen their bodies and improve their swimming performance. Inspired by this phenomenon, we propose a planar serial–parallel mechanism with variable stiffness to mimic a swimming fish. Based on Lighthill’s elongated-body theory, we present a gen...
