Flatworm-Inspired Aquatic Robot Propels Itself with a Wiggling Motion

Robotics /

To safely collect data in delicate aquatic environments, researchers have developed a robot that mimics flatworms’ swimming motion. While flatworms usually move along the seabed, they can also propel themselves through water by undulating their bodies. Inspired by this, scientists at Switzerland’s EPFL created a compact, untethered robot that moves effortlessly in any direction across […]

Flatworm-Inspired Aquatic Robot Propels Itself With a Shimmy-Like Motion

Robotics, Science /

Robots collecting data in delicate aquatic environments should avoid whirring propellers that could injure wildlife or tangle in weeds. A new bot solves this problem by mimicking the swimming motion of flatworms. While marine flatworms typically remain on the seabed, they can navigate open water by undulating their thin, flat bodies. Waves ripple from the
