環境に遍在するモノを活用したカモフラージュ水中ロボットの開発

抄録

To closely monitor living things, it is expected to camouflage and fade the robot into the environment to. To address we focused on giving invisibility by hiding in the environment, rather than mimicry that depends on visibility by changing the color and shape. Therefore, we have developed a camouflage underwater robot that hides itself by utilizing things that are ubiquitous in the environment by the softness of its own body with soft materials. The method is to make the sand soar by generating negative pressure and waves with the softness of the body. Then cover the sand with the sand to camouflage. By giving a phase difference to the movement of the fins, it is found that negative pressure and waves are more likely to occur, improving the efficiency of camouflage.
