More science news and info at: http://www.coconutsciencelab.com - in the first issue of the journal, 'Soft Robotics,' MIT researchers report on their new self-contained, autonomous, soft robotic "fish."
Each side of the fish's tail has a long channel bored through it. Carbon dioxide gas from a canister in the fish's abdomen causes the channel to inflate, bending the tail in the opposite direction.
The robotic fish was built by Andrew Marchese, a graduate student in MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
