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 ...

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 : ...

In order to apply the biomechanics of fish swimming to an exploratory robotic system, ... Write a 3-page literature review summarizing at least 10 articles on the mechanics of fishing, swimming, ...

Swimming in schools makes fish surprisingly stealthy underwater, with a group able to sound like a single fish. The new findings by Johns Hopkins University engineers working with a high-tech ...

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.

The team chose to test its lab-grown heart cells in robotic fish because of the similarities between swimming and the pumping action of a heart, Parker says. In some ways, a fish is a pump, he says.

Fish have a sensory system known as the lateral line, which allows them to detect movements, vibrations and pressure gradients in the water. Scientists have now given a robotic fish its own ...
