In the paper, designing process of a walking and swimming legged underwater robot is proposed. The robot has been inspired by diving beetles. To maximize swimming ability of the robot, the structural analysis of the diving beetle's leg has been conducted. The final model of the robot designed by AutoCAD(2D and 3D computer aided design) is presented based on employing structural advantages which diving beetles have. Additionally, underwater experiments with the designed robot leg has been implemented. Bio-mimicking swimming locomotion was applied to the robot leg during the experiments.
