Tiny Feather Star Robot Swims On Two Actuators

Engineers have built a small swimming robot modeled on the feather star, a marine crinoid that moves through water using its feathery arms. The robot achieves its swimming motion with only two actuators, making it a compact and efficient design. Work on bioinspired robots like this is being followed for potential uses in underwater exploration and soft robotics research.

Why now: The minimalist two-actuator design mimicking a sea creature is a novel advance in bioinspired robotics.
