For wave-driven unmanned surface vehicles (WUSVs), utilizing oscillating foils is the most straightforward and common wave energy conversion mechanism. Improving the thrust of the oscillating foil to increase its speed can help WUSVs improve their maneuverability and shorten the completion of ocean missions. This paper proposes a novel transformable two-segment foil, improving the wave energy-conv...
