Puffin bird-inspired robot flaps its wings to travel through both air and water
SMRTR summary
Engineers at MIT and EPFL built a puffin-inspired robot that flies and swims using the same flapping wings, no transformation required. Weighing under 300 grams, it flaps at five beats per second and launches from water at a precise 70-degree angle, potentially revolutionizing how scientists collect ocean data cheaply and frequently.
