Feather Star-Inspired Soft Robot Swims in 3D With Two Actuators

Original: Feather Star Soft Robot Achieves 3D Underwater Maneuverability With Two Actuators

Researchers have developed a soft robot modeled on the feather star, a marine crinoid, that can maneuver in three dimensions underwater using only two actuators. The design, highlighted by Ocean News & Technology, suggests that borrowing morphologies from sea creatures can yield simple, efficient swimming robots for underwater exploration and monitoring.

Why now: The robot's minimalist two-actuator design achieving full 3D underwater movement is a notable robotics breakthrough.
