... the underwater robot 'BionicFinWave'. Festo's bionics team also took nature as a model for its drive system: in order to move, the marine whirlpool worm and cuttlefish use their fins to create a continuous wave that moves along their entire length. Festo was inspired by this wave-like fin movement for its underwater robot. This type of movement pushes the water backwards, creating a forward thrust. Using this principle, the 'BionicFinWave' maneuvers itself ...
