Schematic diagram of the closed-loop motion control experiment based on flow perception.

FlowSight: a fish-inspired #ArtificialLateralLine that lets #UnderwaterRobots ‘feel’ flow in real-time. A vision system watches a #biomimetic tentacle deform, then AI estimates flow vector; enabling closed-loop control and opening new avenues.

Artificial gills unlock long-range underwater robots What's good for fish may be good for robots, too, as researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon have developed an artificial gill that can extract oxygen from seawater to run fuel cells to power robotic...

Artificial gills are paving the way for long-range underwater robots, enhancing oceanographic research. This innovation could transform our understanding of marine ecosystems.
