This paper presents the design of an aquatic robot actuated by one internal rotor. The robot
body has a cylindrical form with a base in the form of a symmetric airfoil with a sharp edge. For
this object, equations of motion are presented in the form of Kirchhoff equations for rigid body
motion in an ideal fluid, which are supplemented with viscous resistance terms. A prototype
of the aquatic robot with an internal rotor is developed. Using this prototype, experimental
investigations of motion in a fluid are carried out.
