A gelatinous robot is capable of operating in abyssal trenches has been developed<\/a> by a group of Chinese researchers from the Zhejiang Lab and the X mechanics center of Zhejiang University (ZJU).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To conceive the robot, capable of operating at depths of ten thousand meters below the surface, they have been inspired by the snail fish<\/strong>, an animal that is capable of surviving a pressure of almost 100 MPa thanks to its structure: bones distributed in tiny parts of its soft gelatinous body.<\/p>\n

This new self-propelled soft robot is shaped like a fish, with a length of 22 centimeters and a wingspan of 28 centimeters. Hard components, including control circuitry and batteries, are distributed throughout the robot's gelatinous body<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Thanks to this mix of hard and soft components, as well as a new dielectric elastomer actuator that operates in cold, high-pressure deep-water environments, the new robot can withstand the hydrostatic pressure of deep water.<\/p>\n

As explained Li Guorui<\/strong>, first author of the article, as well as a senior researcher at the ZJ Lab intelligent robot research center:<\/p>\n

Compared with traditional high-pressure resistant deep-diving equipment, the deep-sea soft robot was developed with completely new technologies, which are expected to significantly reduce the difficulty and cost of deep-sea exploration.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Now soft robots can have super strength thanks to these muscles<\/a>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In December 2019, the robot performed a constant flapping motion at a depth of 10,900 meters in the Mariana Trench.<\/p>\n
