In this paper, the design, fabrication, numerical studies, and preliminary characterization of a multi-fin soft robot are presented. The design is simple, robust, and fully autonomous. The robot has a 216mm body length and displays great potential to achieve uncoupled surge (forwards and backwards), sway, and heave motions. Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) studies are employed to evaluate appropr...
