The invention discloses a shape-controllable underwater biomimetic propulsion device. The device comprises a frame consisting of a group of symmetric four-link structures and a coating film. The shape of the biomimetic propulsion device is smoothly and continuously changed according to environments such as direct flow, reverse flow, wind wave, tide and vortex and different required tasks such as cruising, linear acceleration and turning while a robot moves, and response is made to a continuously changing swimming condition and task characteristics; the function of the biomimetic propulsion device can be improved by changing the shape of the biomimetic propulsion device, and the device has long-endurance long-voyage capacity and also has high-speed and high-mobility propulsion capacity so as to greatly improve the propulsion performance and improve the adaptability to the environment. The shape change and the task execution of the biomimetic propulsion device can be simultaneously performed, and the robot is not required to be taken out of an operating environment for manual adjustment.
