Design and Application of a Miniature Underwater Bionic Robot Inspired by Sea Butterflies for Multimodal Motion

The miniature underwater robot (characteristic size less than 10 cm) has broad application prospects in fields such as archaeology, environmental monitoring, and pipeline inspection. Compared to traditional-sized underwater robots, miniature robots have a natural advantage in narrow and complex environments. Existing bionic propulsion methods (such as fish-like, snake-like, and jellyfish-like movements) typically can only move … Read more
