A team of engineers and marine biologists at the University of California in the US have made a foot-long virtually transparent eel-like robot that uses artificial muscles filled with water to propel ...

An innovative, eel larvae-like robot developed by engineers and a marine biologist at the University of California can swim silently in salt water without an electric motor. Instead, the robot uses ...

Engineers at MIT have fabricated transparent, gel-based robots that move when water is pumped in and out of them. The bots can perform a number of fast, forceful tasks, including kicking a ball ...

Biomimicry, or using the motion of animals as inspiration for design, has long been a staple of robotics and engineers have studied animals to solve complex structural problems. Recently, researchers ...
