Key performance trade-offs revealed The robotic fish achieved a maximum swimming speed of 1.24 body lengths per second at 5 Hz in the tuna-like mode, while the anguilliform mode showed a sharp decline ...
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 ...
Led by Professor Yu Junzhi from the School of Advanced Manufacturing and Robotics, the team created a soft robotic fish capable of switching between eel-like (anguilliform) and tuna-like (carangiform) ...
