Nov. 18, 2022 — 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.

This makes it the fastest soft robot so far. It is also more energy-efficient than its previous iteration and can swim not just on the surface, but upward and downward, just like an actual manta ray.

It was just two years ago that a tiny robotic manta ray became the world's fastest-swimming soft-bodied robot. Well, one of its descendants has now smashed that record – and it uses less energy ...

Researchers have set a new record for the fastest swimming soft robot, inspired by manta rays for improved movement control. A team at North Carolina State University (NC State) has improved its ...

Manta ray fins have inspired the design of a soft robot that can swim faster than its record-breaking predecessor. The new swimming robot was engineered by researchers at NC State University and is ...
