Fish-like robotic fin lets underwater robots glide through turbulence

If someone asked you to move like a robot and you responded with the fluid art of ballet, your audience would be baffled, yet technically, you would be right. Robots are famous for their characteristic rigid movement, which is useful in some applications but can hinder adaptability. Now, researchers have developed a robotic wing that moves like no other.Continue ReadingCategory: Robotics, EngineeringTags: Soft Robotics, Biomimicry, University of Southampton, University of Edinburgh, Delft University of Technology
