Zusammenfassung: | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fish-shaped robot capable of advancing or retracting itself without depending on swinging of a pinna caudalis or a pinna pectorale. SOLUTION: The fish-shaped robot is constituted so as to be able to swim in the water by swinging a rear part 16 of trunk including the pinna caudalis 17. The inclination in the longitudinal direction is applied to the fish-shaped robot 10 by a gravity center moving mechanism 40. An apparent specific gravity of the fish-shaped robot 10 is adjusted by changing water amount in a float/sink tank 31, and it is constituted so as to be able to advance or retract the fish-shaped robot by making the difference between the buoyant force and a gravity as an impelling force generated thereby without necessarily depending on swinging of the rear part 16 of trunk including the pinna caudalis 17 having a large power consumption.
