Researchers built a robot squid that propels itself with a water jet – Yahoo News Australia
The robot can house a camera or other sensor in a sealed compartment.
To help explore underwater environments without damaging coral or sea life, engineers from UC San Diego created a robot squid (via Hackster.io). Soft robots are less likely to harm aquatic life than rigid ones. Researchers used mainly soft materials like acrylic polymer to build the device, along with a few 3D printed and laser-cut rigid parts.
