Researchers pulled inspiration from squids in designing an underwater robot capable of propelling itself by creating jets of water for rapid locomotion. Called ‘squidbot,’ the untethered machine is ...

When it comes to dreaming up locomotion solutions for advanced robots, scientists regularly turn to the natural world for inspiration, and the marine environment is a particularly rich source of ideas ...

Engineers from the University of California San Diego have created a new squid-like robot that can operate in the ocean untethered. The robot propels itself by squirting jets of water and carries its ...

An underwater robot nicknamed ‘squidbot’ could form the basis for a new kind of underwater propulsion system. The deep-sea robot sucks water into an on-board pressure chamber and ejects it to move ...
