Robot can move like octopus

Octopuses can wander in the ocean by using suction cups under the tentacles.

However, in special cases they will use the body hopper structure to both divert and run at a speed of 40km / h. And from this, the Greek scientists have successfully developed this type of robotic movement of octopus.

Octopus robots can move every 360mm, half the length of their body.

The secret to the speeding octopus robot is that scientists have designed bat-like membranes to connect tentacles.

This study, led by a team of experts led by Dimitris Tsakiris, shows that if a typical octopus robot can only move 10cm / second, the addition of a tentacle-fastened membrane will be 18cm / seconds and uses less power.

The Daily Mail says one of the features of the octopus robot is to track data on the number of fish species in the marine environment in a quiet, private way so as not to panic the fish.
