The research presented here has its centre point on imitation of fishes and the kinematics of propulsive mechanisms to be used in efficient and versatile autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Today’s AUVs are based on submarine. The paper started with the analysis of topological structural attributes of 4–11 link mechanisms with 1–6 DOFs. Using Hong Sen Yan’s creative design theory for mechanical devices, all the possible combinations of propulsive mechanism were synthesized to generate an atlas of 1149 new propulsive mechanisms subject to isomorphism, which will provide more inputs in the design and fabrication of the AUV models.
