Drawing inspiration from marine life that is able to withstand the pressures of the deepest aquatic environments, scientists have created a soft autonomous robot that is go where none have before. To design robots that can maneuver through deep waters, scientists have looked to the Mariana hadal snailfish, which can be found 8,000 meters below sea level in the Mariana Trench. A team at Zhejiang University in China successfully field-tested their robot’s ability to survive and swim at depths ranging from 70 meters to nearly 11,000 meters, as reported March 4.
