Problem StatementThe objective of this project is to create an underwater robot that looks and swims like a fish. The fish is to achieve these biomimetics by utilizing McKibben muscles to hydraulically propel the fish. The fish will be able to swim forward and turn, and have depth control using active buoyancy in both RC and autonomous modes.
Deliverables
Robotic fish that meets requirements
Detailed instruction manual
Objectives
Design an active buoyancy system
Add underwater remote controlling
Program an autonomous swim mode
Improve physical aesthetics of the fish

Use Scenario
1. User turns on fish and places into body of water
2. User swims fish remotely, testing forward, turning, ascent, and descent movement
3. User turns on autonomous mode
4. Fish exhibits autonomous control of forward, turning, ascent, and descent movement
5. User turns off autonomous mode
6. User retrieves fish from water and turns off

active buoyancy
2. Communication Remote controlling
underwater
3. Aesthetics Modeling Silicone skin
4. Air Leaking Waterproofing the fish
5. Muscle Failure
6. Electronics Failure
7. Battery Life
8. Barrier Detection Failure
9. Damage Survival

Risk ManagementID Risk Item Effect Cause Likelihood Severity Importance Action to Minimize Risk Owner
Describe the risk briefly
What is the effect on any or all of the project deliverables if the cause actually
happens?
What are the possible
cause(s) of this risk?
L*S
What action(s) will you take (and by when) to prevent, reduce the impact of, or transfer the risk of
this occurring?
Who is responsible for
following through on mitigation?
1Fish buoyancy doesn’t work
The project is a failure
Improper calculationsOverlooked information
2 3 6
Test buoyancy on non-essential parts before integrating with electrical components; have
stand-in weights
Lead Mech. Eng. and
Mech. Eng.
2Fish leaks and ruins electrical components
Wasted resources and time
Improper sealing, wrong
sealant, unseen cracks in case
3 2 6
Ensure proper sealants are used. Use a double wall system to reduce risk of leaks. Maintain work documents to prevent improper closing techniques

Dr. Lamkin-Kennard Dr. Walter Dr. Schrlau Dr. Sciremammano
Primary contact for air muscles,
aesthetic qualities, and lab usage.
Contact for buoyancy calculations and
aspects to improve from last year’s
prototype.
Contact for underwater
applications and communications, as well as buoyancy.
Contact for buoyancy calculations and fluid movement throughout
pump and fish.
