This ‘squidbot’ jets around and takes pics of coral and fish

Oct 5, 2020

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have built a squid-like robot that can swim untethered, propelling itself by generating jets of water. The robot carries its own power source inside its body. It can also carry a sensor, such as a camera, for underwater exploration.
The researchers detail their work in a recent issue of Bioinspiration and Biomimetics.
