Amphibious Velox robot uses undulating fins to swim and crawl

  • Опубликовано: 6 фев 2019
  • US company Pliant Energy Systems has turned one of its green energy technologies into a propulsion system for a swimming robot capable of exploring land and sea.
    The Velox robot can move through water as well as over sand, pebbles, snow, ice and other solid ground, completing tasks that robots designed purely for either land or sea would be unsuited for.
    Velox's versatility is due to its undulating soft fins, which sit on either side of Velox and move in a hyperbolic pattern reminiscent of a stingray or a millipede.
    Pliant Energy originally developed the fins as a system for generating electricity from rivers. It wanted a shape that wouldn't become entangled with debris and or be damaged by bumping up against heavy objects like tree trunks.

    The Economist issue December 18, 2021, has a great article about this device. Propellors it turns out are very inefficient. Boats with velox could have a shallower draft among other benefits.

    Could you imagine the military application for a full scale amphibious vehicle?
    Traditional tanks could become obsolete.
    I wonder how energy efficient it is.
    It mimics nature so well that I'm guessing that its design is quite efficient

    • @Unmannedair

      I think it would make an interesting surveillance drone, but it would be near useless for other applications due to size and speed problems.

    What's happening ?...
    In sliding environment (ice, water), it goes opposite to the wave direction.
    On non sliding environment (floor) it goes in the wave direction.

    • @Unmannedair
      @Unmannedair Год назад

      That's because as you said, in one method is a sliding motion and in the other it's a rolling motion. I'm rolling motion the point that's touching the ground is at zero velocity relative the the ground. This is why the phasing moves in different directions.

      @gumikebbap 4 года назад +2

      @@gamecity7265 think about it this way: for something to move, it has to push something else in the oposite direction. in the case of the robot, it's pushing water/the ground/snow backwards. The wavelike form of its propeller is unrelated.
      That said, you gave me a cool idea: maybe there could be something that pushes photons/waves/particles backwards. that might work. what do you think?
