Robotic fins boost underwater robot stability against strong currents by 87%
SMRTR summary
Engineers developed a soft robotic wing with liquid-metal e-skin that mimics how birds and fish sense their surroundings, allowing underwater robots to automatically adjust their shape when water currents change. This bio-inspired technology neutralized 87% of turbulence that typically throws rigid underwater vehicles off course, while using five times less energy than traditional systems.
