Introduction -- Bio-inspired Fish Body Wave Model Considering Linear Density -- Motion Control of Fishlike Swimming in 2D -- CPG-based Swimming Control -- 3D Maneuvering Control of Robotic Fish -- Control of Yaw and Pitch Maneuvers of Robotic Dolphin -- Leaping Control of Self-propelled Robotic Dolphin -- Motion Control of Self-propelled Robotic Jellyfish -- Summary and Outlook.

This book reports on the latest advances in the study of motion control in biomimetic swimming robots with high speed and high manoeuvrability. It presents state-of-the-art studies on various swimming robots including robotic fish, dolphins and jellyfish in a unified framework, and discusses the potential benefits of applying biomimetic underwater propulsion to autonomous underwater vehicle design, such as: speed, energy economy, enhanced manoeuvrability, and reduced detectability. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to researchers, engineers and graduate students in robotics and ocean engineering who wish to learn about the core principles, methods, algorithms, and applications of biomimetic underwater robots. .
