Designed for both practical underwater tasks and biomechanical research, the robot mimics the octopus’s unique swimming and movement abilities. “Our research journey began long ago with studying diverse principles for reaching and grasping, locomotion, and swimming,” said Prof. Cecilia Laschi, who led the study. Unlike many marine animals, octopuses are exceptionally agile—they can swim swiftly and interact with objects around them. The goal of the study was to develop a robotic system that closely replicates these advanced underwater capabilities.
