Fish-like swimming has been attracting scientists and engineers attention since many years resulting in attempts of mathematical description of fish movement and its implementation in many interesting prototypes of underwater vehicles. In this paper, conception of research on simulation, implementation and control of bionic underwater vehicle BUV with undulating propulsion is presented. In the next sections, introduction and mathematical model of bionic underwater vehicle motion are included. Then, the last implementation of the robotic fish called CyberFish, which movement is based on the presented mathematic description is presented and shortly described. In the last sections, conception of research on control system of BUV and conclusions are presented.

The author has developed many kinds of robotic fishes based on elastic oscillating fin propulsion system from 1989. The presentation describes past, present, and future robotic fish technologies, and applications of robotic fish technologies to various fields. Firstly, the history of the developed life-like robotic fish, such as sea bream in 1995, coelacanth in 1997, carp in 2000, shark ray in 2004 etc. is mentioned. The developed robotic fishes are basically propelled by vertical tail fin and operated by servo motors. Secondly, the life-like robotic dolphin was newly developed in 2013. The author developed tethered whale robot with horizontal tail fin propelled by hydraulic actuator in 1990s, however, the robotic dolphin is untethered and higher length, that is more than 1m, and has characteristic of fast cruising and higher maneuverability with horizontal tail fin propelled by servo motors. Thirdly, new application fields of robotic fish technologies, such as medical forceps and extractors, space robots which went to International Space Station and swam in the space, and current power plant using oscillating fin propulsion system for new offshore sustainable energy are described. Finally, robotic fish technologies for the next generation underwater vehicle are summarized.

<div class=""abs_img""><img src=""[disp_template_path]/JRM/abst-image/00260003/13.jpg"" width=""300"" />Structure of BREAM </span></div> Based on our robotic fish studies since 2003, this paper introduces a FPGA offline control underwater searcher (FOCUS) and a bream robot equipped with advanced mechanism (BREAM). The performance of the first FOCUS prototype, built in 2011, is now being improved. FOCUS has 2 cameras and fieldprogrammable gate arrays (FPGAs) with high arithmetic processing capabilities. The appearance of the FOCUS is so cute. The two FOCUS types now available are an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and a remotely operated vehicle (ROV). BREAM, in contrast, is an entertainment robot prototype designed for Asutamuland Tokushima exhibition. BREAM has four joints based on analytical computational fluid dynamics (CFD) results showing that robotic fish with multiple joints achieve better propulsion performance than that with single joint. Two of the four joints are used for propulsion and two are used for turning the prototype. RC-FOCUS is also exhibited at Asutamuland Tokushima, together with BREAM. </span>
