Researchers have developed a new type of robot inspired by a manta ray—and it can probably swim a whole lot better than you can. In a study published on Nov. 18 in the journal Science Advances, the ...

Inspired by the biomechanics of the manta ray, researchers have developed an energy-efficient soft robot that can swim more than four times faster than previous swimming soft robots. The robots are ...

The biomechanics of the manta ray inspired researchers to develop an energy-efficient soft robot that can swim more than four times faster than previous swimming soft robots. The robots are called ...

Scientists regularly draw ideas from the natural world in a bid to improve robotic performance, and when it comes to soft robots that swim, motion in the ocean is a rich source of inspiration. The ...
