Sepios
Inspired by the cuttlefish these students at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology built a nautical robot that mimics the locomotion.
“The only four finned cuttlefish robot in the world, Sepios
distances itself from classical nautical vehicles with its
omnidirecitonality and high maneuverability. These qualities combined
with its fishlike appearance and low disturbance are ideal for closing
in on fish, making it the ideal device for marine life filming.”
The way this bot moves made me immediately think of a spin off for pixar’s wall-e. A tiny robot trying to clean up the ocean after all the humans left. 1,000,000x more heart breaking and brutal.
