Abstract
  • This paper presents the design, construction, operation, and validation of a robotic gantry
    platform specifically designed for studying fish-robot interaction. The platform has five
    degrees of freedom to manipulate the three-dimensional position, yaw angle, and the pitch
    of a lure. Additionally, it has a four-conductor slip ring that allows power and data to be
    transmitted to the lure for the operation of fins and other actuators that increase realism
    or act as stimuli to focal fish during an ethorobotic experiment. The design is opensource, low-cost, and includes purpose-built electronics, software, and hardware to make
    it extensible and customizable for a number of applications with varying requirements.
