The Robots That Swim Like Fish

This channel has single handedly made me interested in IC's and lithography. Videos on these off topics are just a cherry on top.

[kingkrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Nature documentaries are going to be insane if these things have cameras.

Crazy to think how primitive all these robots are - the first ones are barely 30 years old and were made in the lifetime of most viewers. I imagine this is kind of what airplanes felt like in the 1920’s. If history is any guide, these aquatic drones are going to get A LOT better in the next 10-20 years.

when I was a kid, I used to go spear fishing in southern CA. One time I saw a large stingray in the sand. I tried to swim down to it and it vanished in blink of an eye. pacific stingray can go 30 mph :)

Veritaserum made a brilliant video about the insane competition in which hobbyists race robot mice automatically solving mazes, I'm convinced that there are people who would build better fish robots than all these scientists combined after having a competition like this for just a couple of years...

"Fish efficiency" is probably the most satisfying expression I've heard in a few months. You never cease to amaze me. 8)

really cool to see the Asianometry deep dive on something small scale, although i love your stuff about chip fabs and industries.

The German word for guinea pigs translates to "sea pigs"

[nickj]

Cool, How about a deep dive on robots like you did for semiconductors: Unimation, Adept, Fanuc, Kawasaki, Abb, Kuka etc

Lol this was literally my Master's thesis. Watching this video was like reading the background section of my thesis. I was looking at using piezo composites (called Macro Fibre Composites) as thrust producing fins. Cool stuff.

[FullLengthInterstates]

power to thrust ratio! a very sfc adjacent metric. (specific fuel consumption)

my personal favorite cursed units are lb/hr and lbf (pounds per hour fuel flow : pound-force), though not too relevant to underwater vehicles that can't burn fuel

Robotic fish? The underwater drone warfare will be very interesting.

Viktor Schauberger figured that vortex thing out as well. He even made proposals for flying crafts based on that principle.

HI Sutton's covert shores has a good article on watercraft using fish like porpulsion, there were Soviet vehicles with that design.

[danmcdonald]

Looking forward to Phish and Microchips 😂. Great video!

[amkamath]

At the 6:20 mark, I feel the vortices must both spin in the opposite direction for the fish to get a forward boost.

I went to college with Jason, amazing to see how deep he has gone! I only did 1m and got out, it was obvious even at swimming he was a deep diver because of his metal skeleton! Proud of u big J!

Great video, but missing the best finned robots around, from Pliant Energy Systems.
They swim beautifully but can also move over land, ice, etc. No other efforts come close!

[WingofTech]

The start of the video was full-wholesome.

Growing biomechanical bodies with silicon brain or neural link control is the holy grail of robotics in my opinion.
