Implications for next-generation underwater robots By dynamically switching between swimming modes, the robotic fish overcame the traditional trade-off between speed and maneuverability. Tests in ...
An edible robot leverages a combination of biodegradable fuel and surface tension to zip around the water's surface, creating a safe -- and nutritious -- alternative to environmental monitoring ...
Engineers have developed robotic fish that mimic real aquatic life, offering an aquarium experience without the upkeep. These miniature submarines, powered by Arduino and guided by an overhead camera ...
An underwater robot developed by NTNU. This study first establishes a cylindrical dynamic model of dielectric elastomers to deeply analyze the deformation behavior of DEs under the action of electric ...
The fastest-ever swimming soft robot has been inspired by manta rays. A team of American researchers beat its own speed record by drawing inspiration from the iconic sea creatures to improve their ...
Watching fish glide silently around a tank is one of the most relaxing hobbies a person can pick up, but keeping an actual ...
The boat-shaped robot takes advantage of the same phenomenon – the Marangoni effect – used by some aquatic insects to propel themselves across the surface of water. A chemical reaction within a tiny ...
