Biomedical jellyfish-inspired robot hits record swim speeds without onboard power
SMRTR summary
Researchers have built a jellyfish-inspired soft robot that swims at record speeds of 14.85 body-lengths per second using external magnetic fields instead of onboard power. By mimicking the fast contraction and slow recovery of real jellyfish, the robot navigates tight spaces, carries medical tools, and achieved drug-delivery targeting accuracy of 4.4mm inside a pig stomach model, making it a promising tool for minimally invasive medical procedures.
