Summary

Virginia Tech ME4984/5984 Soft Robotics Class – Team 4B Project
Tendon-Driven Bio-Mimetic Fish Robot

This project is a tendon-actuated, soft-bodied robotic fish developed by Team 4B as part of Virginia Tech's ME4984/5984 Soft Robotics course. The design mimics the undulatory locomotion of real fish using compliant materials and tendon routing to achieve smooth, lifelike swimming motion.

Recommended Printing Instructions:

1. Use flexible filament (e.g., TPU) for the 'PRT_TAIL_end.stl' components to maintain soft articulation.

2. Use standard PLA or PETG for rigid parts such as motor housings or structural supports.

3. Supports may be required for overhanging geometries—refer to individual STL part notes.
