Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) scientists have developed an autonomous robotic fish that can execute escape manoeuvres, convulsing its body to change direction in just a fraction of a second, or almost as quickly as a real fish can.
The self-contained robot developed by MIT is capable of rapid body motion.
The continuous curvature of the fish’s body when it flexes is what allows it to change direction so quickly.
