Researchers from the Shenyang Institute of Automation (SIA) have created an electrohydraulically actuated soft robotic fish capable of high-speed swimming and agile three-dimensional maneuvers. This innovative design combines a rigid–flexible coupled propulsion system with dynamic buoyancy regulation, addressing a significant challenge in robotic fish development.
The significance of this advancement lies in its ability to achieve fast propulsion while maintaining exceptional maneuverability, which is crucial for applications in underwater exploration and robotics. The soft robotic fish represents a step forward in the integration of propulsion systems and buoyancy control, enhancing the versatility of robotic designs in aquatic environments.
Looking ahead, the implications of this technology could extend to various fields, including marine research and environmental monitoring. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
