This is the first robot that can move on sand at a depth of 12 cm and develop a speed of 1.2 mm per second. The robot is equipped with sensors that allow it to detect obstacles while in motion. It works wirelessly, controlled via WiFi.
The robot’s capabilities can be used in a variety of areas, including controlling granaries, surveying soils, digging the seabed, and search and rescue operations.
The research team drew inspiration from baby sea turtles to create the robot’s propulsion, steering, and obstacle sensing fins.
