Animals glide effortlessly through amazing underwater acrobatics, while our best underwater vehicles fight against the water during the simplest accelerations and manoeuvres.
Using soft robotics, the student working on this project will develop highperformance underwater vehicles capable of biological levels of performance and efficiency. Southampton leads the UK in underwater robotics and biological fluid mechanics, and previous work in this direction has led to world record vehicles (Guinness Book 2019, fastest underwater acceleration) and high profile publications.
Key skills: Fluid mechanics, and depending on the student – interest in either computation/simulation or hands on robotics
