NUS-developed MantaDroid which swims faster and operates up to 10 hours

on
Building a robot is easy. Building a robot with soft, bendable parts is still doable. But building a soft robot “fish” that can swim as well as the real thing: a much trickier task. Now Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have created an aquatic robot named as  MantaDroid which swims at the speed of twice its body length per second and can operate for up to 10 hours. Manta rays are considered to one of nature's most graceful and efficient swimmers possess a unique propulsion mechanism.

                           

The NUS team has finally designed MantaDroid after two long years of research and multiple experiments which includes over 40 designs. Unlike other flapping-based underwater robots that replicate manta ray's flapping kinematics by using multiple motors to achieve active actuations throughout the fins.

  




Previously A team of researchers at Zhejiang University in China has created a small, soft-bodied robot able to swim twice as fast as others of its kind.


 In their paper published in the journal Science Advances, the team describes how they came up with a unique way to power the robot, how well it works, and likely applications for it.

    To perfect this, Australia has developed a stable platform to learn about the various migration requirements and regulations and apply online from their home country. This can be done by producing a Assignment writing. After you've completed all of the career series, you'll need to compose a summary statement that summarizes what you've learned thus far. For each of the occupational categories mentioned above, CDR Engineers Australia has issued separate templates for writing the summary statement.
    Since many of the experts at total arts architecture assignment help aid have worked as engineers in Australia and now serve as mentors, they are familiar with the regulations and guidelines developed by CDR Engineers Australia. Complete Dissertation help Assignment Aid has been assisting students worldwide in submitting a well-written CDR report to CDR engineers australia and realizing their dream of working as an engineer in Australia.
