Some Kinematic Patterns of Underwater Frog Swimming

Öz

Under liquid swimming for the robots is extremely interesting. In this context one can think of deep sea beds, oil deposits, acid tanks, etc. The next generation of robots will be based on animals rather than humans. If we consider the underwater swimming robots, swimming tecniques of frogs are as worthy as fishes. Their underwater motion is trust-drag based. By using the hydrodynamic equations of experimantal results of frogs’ underwater swimming, we obtain the speed and the distance for such a motion.

Sualtı Kurbağa Yüzüşünün Bazı Kinematic Özellikleri

Öz

Sıvıların içinde robot yüzüşleri oldukça ilgi çekicidir. Bu bağlamda örnek olarak derin deniz yatakları, petrol yatakları, asit tankları düşünülebilir. Yakın gelecek robotları insanların yerine hayvanları baz alacaktır. Sualtı robotlarını ele aldığımızda, yüzüş tekniği açısından kurbağalar balıklar kadar önemlidir. Kurbağaların sualtı yüzüşleri itme-direnç temellidir. Biz böyle bir harekete ait sürat ve mesafe formüllerini, kurbağalara ait deneylerin hidrodinamik denklemlerini kullanarak elde ettik.
