About

The project presents a servo-based two-foil flapping propulsion system for an underwater drone. Designed in CATIA, the drone includes a servo mechanism, flapping foils, electronics, sensors, and a body cover. Laboratory tests were successful, and after minor modifications, real-time sea testing will be conducted.
