We introduce an enhanced iteration of OpenFish, a previously developed open-source soft robotic fish. The original model, developed at Delft University of Technology, successfully emulated thunniform swimming through a unique propulsion system utilizing both active and passive tail segments. This design aimed to optimize speed and efficiency while fostering future advancements in soft robotic fish research. To further enhance OpenFish, we undertook a redesign process, making modifications to the fish hull and internal components. These changes aimed to simplify construction, address waterproofing issues, and facilitate the development of an autonomous version of the fish. Our work encompasses an updated description of the construction process, customization options, and detailed insights into hardware implementation, including waterproofing techniques for the soft robotic fish.
我们推出了OpenFish的增强版，OpenFish是之前开发的一款开源软机器人鱼。最初的模型由代尔夫特理工大学开发，通过一个独特的推进系统成功模拟了金枪鱼式游泳，该系统同时利用主动和被动尾段。这种设计旨在优化速度和效率，同时推动软机器人鱼研究的未来发展。为了进一步改进OpenFish，我们进行了重新设计，对鱼体外壳和内部组件进行了修改。这些改变旨在简化构造、解决防水问题，并推动鱼的自主版本的开发。我们的工作包括对建造过程的更新描述、定制选项，以及对硬件实现的详细见解，包括软机器人鱼的防水技术。
