Scientists have created a unique soft robot that swims like a fish and feeds on seawater. It can dive to a depth of 10 km without disturbing fragile underwater ecosystems.
\nThe journal Science Robotics has published a description of an unusual deep-sea robot that completely copies the movements of a real fish. Its main feature is that it runs exclusively on seawater, without traditional rigid engines that can damage underwater fauna.
\nSlightly larger than a palm (32 cm) and weighing less than a kilogram, the robot uses seawater ions to create an electric field. This field sets in motion a special liquid inside a silicone case, making the robot swim gracefully.
\nTests have shown impressive results:
\nSuccessful dive to a depth of 4,000 meters
\nTested under pressure equivalent to a depth of 10 km
\nFunctionality at temperatures up to 2\u00b0C
\nEquipped with a camera and sensors, this bionic robot opens up new possibilities for exploring the deepest and most unexplored corners of the ocean, where traditional devices are too cumbersome and dangerous for fragile ecosystems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
