  • Publication number: 20250121920
    Abstract: A biomimetic turtle includes a trunk, a head movably connected with a front end of the trunk in the front-rear direction, two front limbs disposed on a front section of the trunk and each rotatable relative to the trunk to sway in an up-down direction, and a driving module to drive the head and the front limbs. Each front limb has a curve-shaped rigid portion with a recess, and a deformable flipper portion engaged in the recess and extending rearwardly. With the deformable flipper portion deformed and bent during swaying of the front limbs, a forward propelling force is generated to propel the biomimetic turtle forwardly. The head is operably movable to vary the center of gravity of 10 the biomimetic turtle 100 in the water, and thus the front portion of the biomimetic turtle is inclined upwardly or downwardly to facilitate ascending or descending of the biomimetic turtle.
