This paper presents a mathematical model of a robot with fin in an underwater environments. The model takes into account the hydrodynamic forces acting on the fin and the robot’s body. The robot with single fin and actuator is used for the experiments. The joint angle and the force acting on the actuator are measured to compare between simulation and experiment.
