Led by Professor Yu Junzhi from the School of Advanced Manufacturing and Robotics, the team created a soft robotic fish capable of switching between eel-like (anguilliform) and tuna-like (carangiform) ...

If the argument that art imitates life holds true, than MIT’s fish-like soft robot ― a robot powered by fluid flowing through flexible channels ― is art. Researchers from the prestigious university ...

Key performance trade-offs revealed The robotic fish achieved a maximum swimming speed of 1.24 body lengths per second at 5 Hz in the tuna-like mode, while the anguilliform mode showed a sharp decline ...
