Octopus like robots to explore deep sea life


Sea lovers will be happy to note the development of a tiny robot octopus explorer with the ability to maneuver under water with the agility of a jelly fish. Usually when a robot is built to explore the deep sea creatures it’s often hard for its angular skeleton like limbs to move around as fluidly as expected. In order to counter this rigidity engineers in the UK, Switzerland, Turkey, Greece and Israel are working on organic tentacles that can aid the robot to explore the finer beings underwater.
