Roboticists have a habit of looking to nature for inspiration, and this time, they've turned to the humble marine flatworm. Known for undulating their bodies to move through water, ocean-dwelling ...

Marine flatworms are cool. Hear me out. They’ve mastered the art of smooth undulating motion and perfected it over millions of years of evolution. They can glide efficiently through water by ...

Unlike standard underwater devices that make use of loud and cumbersome propellers, this robot uses silent, propulsive fins that emulate marine flatworms. The robot weighs only six grams and is ...

A new ultra-light swimming robot mimics marine flatworms, using silent undulating fins for precise movement in tight aquatic spaces. It could revolutionize environmental monitoring and precision ...

A new bot addresses that issue by utilizing a swimming mechanism inspired by flatworms. Although marine flatworms generally stay on the seabed, they can swim through open water by undulating their ...

Breaking away from traditional propeller-based systems, this new robot propels forward with silently undulating fins that are inspired by the movements of marine flatworms. This novel design, coupled ...

Why did President Trump fire many of the board members of the Kennedy Center, and name himself chairman and his former Ambassador to Germany Ric Grenell as president? Grenell was interviewed at ...

Inspired by marine flatworms, the innovative device offers new possibilities for environmental monitoring and ecological research. Swimming robots play a crucial role in mapping pollution ...

Miniature electronics for autonomous operation Unlike traditional propeller-based systems, the EPFL robot uses silently undulating fins –inspired by marine flatworms – for propulsion.

Unlike traditional propeller-based systems, the EPFL robot uses silently undulating fins—inspired by marine flatworms—for propulsion. This design, combined with its light weight, allows the robot to ...
