Researchers uncover how jelly sea creatures might shape modern robotics
Eugene OR (SPX) May 16, 2024
Scientists at the University of Oregon have discovered that colonies of gelatinous sea animals swim through the ocean in giant corkscrew shapes using coordinated jet propulsion, an unusual kind of locomotion that could inspire new designs for efficient underwater vehicles. The research involves salps, small creatures that look similar to jellyfish that take a nightly journey from the depth
