Abstract: Biomimicry-based robotic mobility is a newer subgenre of bio-inspired design and it's all about applying natural concepts to the development of real-world engineered systems. Previously, researchers used actuators such as motors, pumps, and intelligent materials or intelligent actuators to build many biomimicry robots. Due to the field's growing interest, this study will examine the performance of several biomimicry robots that have been built based on their different design, the type of material the robot utilizes, and the type of propulsion for the robot to swim while providing huge thrust. Robots must not only design such an animal, but its maneuverability and control tactics must also be tied to wildlife to provide the finest impersonation of biological life. Fish propulsion can be separated into two categories which are body and/or caudal fins (BCF) and median and/or paired fins (MPF). The old propeller system in underwater robot usually uses motor and pump. Many researchers have begun developing smart materials as drivers in recent years that can be grouped into four categories: shape memory alloy SMA, ionic polymer metal composite IPMC, lead zirconate titanate (PZT) and pneumatic soft actuator as replacement for pump or motor. Varied materials produce different result and can be applied for different propulsion modes. Future researchers working on biomimetic fish robots will be guided by the findings of this study.
