MIT’s flying and swimming robot takes inspiration from diving birds to explore the oceans of tomorrow

MIT engineers have created a remarkable aerial-aquatic robot that can swim underwater, launch through the surface and fly through the air, just like diving birds. Professor Raphael Zufferey explains how nature inspired this breakthrough, why moving between water and air is such a complex engineering challenge, and how these robots could help scientists monitor oceans, collect data and explore places too dangerous for traditional vessels.
