Feather star-inspired underwater robot gets 3D maneuverability from only two actuators

Researchers have created an aquatic soft robot inspired by feather stars, a type of marine invertebrate. Powered by only two actuators, the robot can move through the water in all three dimensions. The paper, "Minimal-Actuation Feather Star–Inspired Soft Swimmers for Multimodal 3D Maneuverability," was published in the journal Science Advances.
