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 ...
How can researchers explore the depths of ocean worlds like Jupiter’s moon, Europa? This is what the Sensing With Independent Micro-swimmers (SWIM) robotic explorers hopes to address as scientists and ...
NASA is advancing the development of autonomous swimming robots designed to explore the vast, hidden oceans beneath the icy crusts of moons like Europa and Enceladus. These futuristic robots, part of ...
Manta rays are elegantly shaped. They swim by flapping their fins like enormous wings, and their gills filter for plankton with the utmost precision. These creatures have now inspired human ...
