Researchers at Cornell University have designed a large underwater robot modelled on the oarfish, a deep-sea creature known for its long ribbon-like body and distinctive dorsal fin. The team studied how the fish propels itself with a rippling fin along its body and reproduced that movement in the robot, aiming for efficient, stable swimming at scale for future underwater exploration.

Engineers have designed a large underwater robot modelled on the oarfish, a deep-sea creature known for its long ribbon-like body and distinctive fin propulsion. The unusual anatomy of the fish, rarely seen alive, provides a template for efficient movement at depth. The project highlights how deep-sea biology continues to inform robotics, drawing attention from both science and technology audiences.

A new study on the oarfish, often called the doomsday fish, is being used as a blueprint for designing quiet ocean-monitoring robots. Researchers, reportedly at Cornell, are studying the fish's biomimetic propulsion to build machines that can move through the ocean with minimal noise and disturbance, potentially improving underwater surveillance and marine research.

Scientists studying the oarfish, a rarely seen deep-sea fish, have found that its long, joystick-like pelvic fins may help it maneuver in the water. Researchers say the unusual fin design could inspire a new generation of underwater robots capable of precise movement at depth. The finding adds to growing interest in biomimicry for marine robotics.
