Abstract:
Underwater robotic systems are disclosed. In some instances, a robotic system may include a body, a flexible fin, and a rotatable mass associated with the body such that angular acceleration of the rotatable mass causes a reaction torque that rotates the body to deform the flexible fin to create thrust in water.
