● Chinese Scientists Develop Devilfish2-Shaped Soft Robot

Chinese researchers in Northwestern Polytechnical University have developed a biomimetic3 robot in the shape of a manta ray4， or devilfish. It can flap its wings and slide underwater.

As one of the natures most efficient swimmers， manta rays have a unique propulsion5 mechanism with high propulsion efficiency， high mobility and stability， low noise and large load capacity6.

The researchers made the bionic soft robot prototype7 modeled on the shape and motion of a manta ray. The prototype， with a wingspan8 of 80 cm， is powered by a battery. It can swim at a speed of up to 1.85 km per hour.

“Our team is also developing prototypes that can dive up to 1，000 meters and work for a month，” said the project leader Pan Guang， also dean9 of the School of Marine Science and Technology of the university.

Once completed， the robot can be used for performing search operations， observing the ocean environment and conducting submarine scientific investigations10， Pan said.

The team will test the robot in lake conditions soon and in the open ocean next year. They also plan to load more sensors11 for visual and sound detection on the robot for further research.

○ 中國科學(xué)家開發(fā)出章魚形狀的軟體機器人

西北工業(yè)大學(xué)的中國研究人員開發(fā)出了一種形似魔鬼魚或章魚的仿生機器人，它可以拍打翅膀在水下滑行。

作為大自然中效率最高的游泳健將之一，章魚擁有獨特的推進機制，具有推進效率高、機動性高和穩(wěn)定性高，噪音低、承載能力大等特點。

研究人員根據(jù)章魚的形狀和動作建立了仿生軟體機器人模型。該模型的翼展為80厘米，由（鋰）電池供電，可以每小時1.85公里的速度游動。

“我們的團隊還在開發(fā)能夠潛水1000米，并連續(xù)工作一個月的模型，”項目負(fù)責(zé)人潘光說，他也是該大學(xué)海洋科學(xué)與技術(shù)學(xué)院院長。

他說，一旦完成，該機器人可用于執(zhí)行搜索行動，觀察海洋環(huán)境和進行潛艇科學(xué)調(diào)查。

該團隊將很快在湖泊條件下和明年開放的海洋中測試。他們還計劃在機器人上裝載更多用于視覺和聲音檢測的傳感器，以便進一步研究。
