North Carolina State University develops mechanically intelligent soft robot capable of switching between three swimming modes

A team at North Carolina State University in the United States has developed a mechanically intelligent soft robot that carries no microcomputer and relies on no real-time algorithms. Using only two air tubes to control inflation and deflation, it can switch among three swimming modes—jellyfish, fish, and rotor—and perform actions such as ascending, descending, hovering, and turning. Its control logic is handled entirely by its materials and structure. The results were published in Science Advances.
