Researchers Develop a Predictive Model and Closed-Loop Controller of Soft Robotic Fish
Written by AZoRoboticsMar 24 2021
Stuttgart - A team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) in Germany, from Seoul National University in Korea and from the Harvard University in the US, successfully developed a predictive model and closed-loop controller of a soft robotic fish, designed to actively adjust its undulation amplitude to changing flow conditions and other external disturbances.
Their work Modeling and Control of a Soft Robotic Fish with Integrated Soft Sensing was published in Wiley s
Advanced Intelligent Systems journal, in a special issue on

Even without a brain, metal-eating robots can search for food
When it comes to powering mobile robots, batteries present a problematic paradox: the more energy they contain, the more they weigh, and thus the more energy the robot needs to move. Energy harvesters, like solar panels, might work for some applications, but they don’t deliver power quickly or consistently enough for sustained travel. The “metal-eating” robot can follow a metal path without using a computer or needing a battery. By wiring the power-supplying units to the wheels on the opposite side, the robot autonomously navigates away from the tape and towards aluminum surfaces. (Image: Penn Engineering Today)
