Bio-inspired underwater robots are engineered to replicate the morphology, movements, and behaviors of aquatic animals, which have evolved amazingly underwater mobility. This interdisciplinary field ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Building robots that can effortlessly mimic the movements of insects on water has been a persistent challenge in robotics. The ability to move autonomously and efficiently in ...

A Korean research team has created a light-driven artificial muscle that functions independently underwater, advancing the future of soft robotics. The system, developed by the Korea Research ...

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 ...

Although we've seen a number of different robotic water striders over the years, scientists are still finding clever new aspects of the insects to replicate. Recently, for instance, researchers ...

Penguins are fast, fantastic swimmers, so why not make an underwater robot inspired by them? That's just what German underwater tech company EvoLogics has done, with its new-and-improved Quadroin AUV ...

Wading in the creek behind University of Delaware’s The College School, elementary students laughed and cheered as they met a challenge their teacher Laurie Drumm posed only a few months prior: build ...
