Soft robotic fish combines high-speed swimming with 3D maneuverability

Researchers developed a soft robotic fish powered by electrohydraulic actuators and a phase-change swim bladder. The system achieves swimming speeds of 2.13 body lengths per second while adjusting pitch from -20 to 58 degrees. Engineers gain a functional blueprint for pairing structural compliance with fast three-dimensional underwater travel.
