Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have recently created a "fish" from soft robotics. Away from rigid metal models, their latest is more soft and supple. A PLC can swim like a fish in water. Based on biomimicry , this robotic fish is able to mimic the movement and mode of movement of its animal counterpart. A prototype is manufactured from silicon 3D printed, so he can to move with fluidity and to withstand shocks and collisions with other here. Fullyautonomous , synthetic fish is provided with a shank comprising two sections. In addition to making quick movements, it has more freedom in his movements. Finally, it uses carbon dioxide to "breathe" in the water. Currently, this robotic fish has been developed for experimental purposes.Besides, the prototype is capable of between 20-30 maneuvers based on reserves of carbon dioxide. Later, it could be used to better study these aquatic animals in their natural environment.
