The team reconstructed the ancient creature’s swimming style by creating a bio-inspired control system for a plesiosaur-like robot. This long-necked plesiosaur was an aquatic reptile that once ...

A mechanical snake developed by engineers at ETH Zurich can reportedly access and inspect areas that are unreachable by other robots, drones or humans. The robot, dubbed RoBoa, sorts through trash ...

This robot, presented in a paper published on the arXiv pre-print server, could be used both to complete real-world tasks underwater and to study the bio-mechanical underpinnings of octopus swimming. ...
