<i>Ocyropsis</i>‐Inspired Fast‐Swimming Transparent Soft Robots (Adv. Funct. Mater. 31/2025)
Transparent Soft Robots In article number 2421522, Geng Yang, Chao Zhang, and co-workers present a bio-inspired, transparent soft robot designed for underwater environments, which combines the electro-hydraulic actuation principle with the Ocyropsis-type propulsion mechanism. The robot exhibits high-speed swimming, agile obstacle avoidance, and excellent energy efficiency, thereby underscoring its promising potential for applications in underwater exploration.
