Underwater robots are crucial in ocean exploration, as they offer a solution to the limitations of traditional underwater vehicles. Bionic gliding underwater robots, which mimic the appearance and swimming mechanisms of natural creatures, have gained significant attention due to their high maneuverability, swimming efficiency, and strong concealment. These robots can achieve these attributes by borrowing buoyancy adjustment systems from underwater gliders. By taking gliding robotic dolphin and fish as examples, this book discusses the designed prototypes and proposed methods for developing next-generation underwater robots that are well-suited for various oceanic applications.

The book provides comprehensive coverage of the theoretical and practical aspects of bionic gliding underwater robots, including system design, modeling control, and motion planning. It discusses the challenges faced by traditional underwater robots and how bionic gliding robots can overcome them. The book also highlights the importance of endurance in underwater exploration and how bionic gliding underwater robots can provide strong endurance.

The book is written in a clear and concise manner, making it accessible to students and professionals in the field of robotics or intelligent control. It includes detailed illustrations and examples to help readers understand the concepts and applications of bionic gliding underwater robots. The book will also be a valuable reference for engineers or technicians who deal with the development of underwater robots.

In conclusion, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in underwater exploration and the development of next-generation underwater robots. It provides comprehensive coverage of the theoretical and practical aspects of bionic gliding underwater robots, including system design, modeling control, and motion planning. The book is written in a clear and concise manner, making it accessible to students and professionals in the field. It will also be a valuable reference for engineers or technicians who deal with the development of underwater robots.
