PhD Studentship in Biologically inspired underwater soft robotics
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, […]
