CurrentSoft Robot, New York, NY• By ventilating two gas channels separately to use air pressure difference to make fishtail swing and finally achieve the goal of allowing robot to move in the water.• Built an amplifier circuit for a pressure sensor and bend sensor to get more accurate data.• Using photolithography to make actuators with different materials and choosing the most suitable one using a mechanical test.• Tested bending angles of fishtail of different lengths and angles and compared with theoretical and simulated results.• By adjusting air pressure and ventilation time to make fishtail swing quickly.• Optimize the structure of soft robot so that it can swim in a straight line smoothly in water, and speed can reach 1.5bl/s
