A biomimetic robotic manta ray includes a head cabin, a central cabin, a pair of pectoral fins and a caudal fin cabin. The pectoral fin includes a crank-rocker mechanism and a bevel gear mechanism. The biomimetic robotic manta ray achieves undulatory propulsion through a coordinated periodic motion of the crank-rocker mechanism. A complex closed motion trail of the tail end of the pectoral fin of the manta ray is traced through the coordination of the bevel gear mechanism and the crank-rocker mechanism. The biomimetic robotic manta ray achieves a combined motion of two vertical undulations superimposed on the pectoral fin of a natural manta ray. The motion trail, which has an important effect on the efficient motion of the manta ray, of the tail end of the pectoral fin is approximately simulated.
