Abstract
In this paper, a deep learning based framework has been developed to predict hydrodynamic forces on a mantle-undulated propulsion robot (MUPRo). A multiple proper orthogonal decomposition (MPOD) algorithm has been proposed to efficiently identify fluid features near the undulating mantle of the MUPRo globally and locally. The results indicate that theL2error of the solution states near the undulating boundary of the proposed MPOD algorithm converges almost linearly to 0.2%. Furthermore, a hydrodynamics prediction framework has been developed based on the proposed MPOD algorithm, where a long short-term memory neural network predicts the temporal coefficients of the MPOD spatial modes. The developed framework achieves economical and reliable predictions of hydrodynamic forces acting on the undulating boundary compared to simulations and experiments. Moreover, theL2error of the developed framework is one to two orders of magnitude lower than that of the frameworks based on the classical POD algorithm when the degrees of freedom are consistent. Finally, the reliability of the proposed MPOD-NIROM is discussed through an offline parameter planning case of an aquatic-inspired robot. The model presented in this paper can provide support for the offline parameter planning of aquatic-inspired robots.
