Unmanned underwater vehicles which use biomimetic mechanisms are becoming increasingly useful in the realisation of tasks requiring silent and efficient propulsion. Complex fish kinematics are simplified to some extent and implemented in such vehicles. One of the essential fish behaviours is their ability to adjust their buoyancy using a swim bladder. This paper covers the issues concerning the implementation of artificial swim bladders as well as depth regulators in two underwater vehicles: biomimetic and hybrid. The control of vehicle depth through buoyancy change was examined in the computer simulation and in the experiment. Two types of artificial swim bladder were tested – a rigid cylinder with a piston and an elastic container with a water pump.
