Underwater Stingray Mechanism Bot

The paper deals with the design and development of an underwater stingray mechanism bot. In this study, a unique underwater propulsion system based on stingray biomimicry is proposed. The device's flexible and streamlined motion is modelled after a Skotch-Yoke mechanism coated in a silicon rubber sheet. The main goal of this project is to create an economical, effective, and environmentally friendly underwater propulsion system that can be applied to a variety of tasks such as underwater surveillance, marine research, and ocean exploration. Traditional underwater propulsion systems may be expensive and detrimental to the marine environment; the suggested mechanism offers a less expensive and more environmentally friendly substitute. Flexible, long-lasting, and resistant to a variety of external variables are made possible by the employment of silicone rubber sheet and acrylic sheet material in the mechanism design. Experimental testing of the suggested underwater propulsion system based on stingray biomimicry has yielded excellent results, suggesting potential for usage in a variety of underwater applications
