Riassunto (Italiano)
The aim of the thesis is to design and build a prototype of an anguilliform swimming robot in order to investigate the electrolocation sense. The robot is able to function or as an eel-like robot whole entity, or to split into smaller agents. For this task several mechanical systems are design: a high efficiency motorized revolute joint to transmit the motion between modules; a new mechanical connector with permanent magnet to make easier the alignment of the robots; a waterproof propulsion system with a magnetic gear to transmit torque between the propeller and the motor shaft without any mechanical connection; a frictionless and waterproof buoyancy control.
