- RobohubSmall, medium or large, a robotic fish maintains its swimming ability
Researchers from EPFL and NYU have developed ScaFi, a scalable robotic fish that mimics the swimming motion of fish like cod and mackerel. The robot's design allows for proportional scaling of its tail structure while keeping the motor and tendon system consistent, enabling operation in various aquatic environments. Field tests showed that ScaFi maintains fish-like swimming behavior across different sizes, though energy efficiency and stability vary with scale.
