Abstract:

The authors are developing a propulsion device for short duration positioning of small subsea robots that mimics the jet mechanism used by squid. The water jet is generated by a gas-operated hydraulic actuator. The authors describe the concept of the device and some control tests soon to be conducted on a simple configuration in a wave tank facility.<>
