Real-time energy monitoring and management system and its application on bionic robotic fish

For overcoming the problems that bionic robotic fish is energy-limited and its battery is difficult to be changed, we design a real-time energy monitoring and management system, which makes monitoring the energy consumption of the robot possible in real time. The advantages of the system we designed include small size, reliable performance and low energy consumption. Its main functions are energy data collection, low-voltage protection, energy management, power detection, remote energy information delivery and autonomous power shutdown. Experiments show that the system improves the stability of bionic robot fish system and increases the battery life greatly. It also provides a basic platform for the further study of fish swimming efficiency optimization issues.
