Researchers develop new-generation 'thinking' biomimetic robots as ocean engineering solutions

Tuesday, December 23, 2014 - 08:30 in Biology & Nature

NUS Engineering researchers are closer to creating underwater robotic creatures with a brain of their own – besides behaving like the real thing. In the near future, it would not be too tall an order for the team to produce a swarm of autonomous tiny robotic sea turtles and fishes for example, to perform hazardous missions such as detecting nuclear wastes underwater or other tasks too dangerous for humans.
