Inspired by the biomechanics of the manta ray, researchers have developed an energy-efficient soft robot that can swim more than four times faster than previous swimming soft robots. The robots are ...

Researchers have developed a new type of robot inspired by a manta ray—and it can probably swim a whole lot better than you can. In a study published on Nov. 18 in the journal Science Advances, the ...

Yesterday, I swam some sprint-style butterfly.After I finished swimming, I asked myself.“How was the sprint-style butterfly ...

A study from the North Carolina State University introduces the world to the "Butterfly Bot," claiming that it is the "Fastest Swimming Soft Robot" in the existence of the robotics industry. This new ...

Today, we accept that there are four competitive strokes. But when the first rules for competitive swimming were written in the early 19th century, there was only one rule: Whoever swam the fastest ...
