Short summary
In the research and development process of underwater motion control of the beaver-like robot, the hind leg and tail are the main actuators. In order to estimate the driving force of the robot autonomously during underwater movement, we propose this model, which can quickly and easily infer the force of the hind leg on the body. The correctness of this model is verified by experiments and simulations.
