If scuba divers use inflatable BCDs (buoyancy control devices), why don't underwater robots? Well, an experimental new one does, and the technology is said to be much more energy-efficient than ...
The latest triumph in ocean technology comes from a small, rugged machine that slipped beneath Antarctic ice into a part of the planet no human has ever seen, gathered a torrent of data, and then did ...
Miniature Underwater Robots (MURs) are revolutionizing how humans explore aquatic environments. However, achieving efficient propulsion in highly resistive underwater conditions remains a formidable ...
Researchers have taken inspiration from nature to create a robotic wing that can sense and adapt to changes in water to deliver unparalleled stability. Drawing on the adaptive movements of birds and ...
An autonomous diving robot developed by a research team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) as part of the EU project SEACLEAR can detect and retrieve marine litter. The robot uses an AI ...
An underwater robot can delicately propel itself in any direction with its 12 flexible arms, inspired by the flagella of bacteria. Its creators claim it can carry out underwater inspections without ...
