Tunable stiffness enables fast and efficient swimming in fish-like robots. Science Robotics , 2021; 6 (57): eabe4088 DOI: 10.1126/scirobotics.abe4088 Cite This Page : ...

Just keep swimming Propeller-free robots may soon be swimming with style. A new model of how fish and other aquatic species are able to propel themselves forward without expending much energy may ...

The next step is to confirm the model with a real, live, swimming fish. "They don't move as ideally as models," says Peng. Whoever takes on that challenge will have to do it without Gazzola.
