Learning for Attitude Holding of a Robotic Fish: An End-to-End Approach With Sim-to-Real Transfer

Controlling biomimetic underwater robots in unknown flow fields remains a challenge due to the strong nonlinearity of the fluid. This article investigates the attitude holding task of a robotic fish swimming in reality. Such a typical sensing-based control task requires the fish to keep a desired angle of attack in an unknown and even varied incoming flow. To this end, we propose a learning-based ...
