The pressure in the world’s deepest ocean abyss can crush even the strongest enclosures, so researchers are taking another tack – using a silicone robot with wings like a manta ray

March 3, 2021 at 1:58 pm Inspired by a strange fish that can withstand the punishing pressures of the deepest reaches of the ocean, scientists have devised a soft autonomous robot capable of keeping its fins flapping — even in the deepest part of the Mariana Trench. The team, led by roboticist Guorui Li of Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China, successfully field-tested the robot’s ability to swim at depths ranging from 70 meters to nearly 11,000 meters, it reports March 4 in Nature. Challenger Deep is the lowest of the low, the deepest part of the Mariana Trench. It bottoms out at abou...
