Enabling underwater vehicles to swim like fish

Is this a potential new way to halt macular degeneration?

The first robotic fish proven to mimic the speed and movements of live yellowfin tuna

With a better understanding of how fish move, researchers eventually could develop faster, more efficient propulsion systems for manned and unmanned underwater vehicles. Mechanical engineers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering, leading a collaboration with biologists from Harvard University, have created the first robotic fish proven to mimic the speed and movements of

Batoid rays, such as stingrays and manta rays, are among nature’s most elegant swimmers. They are fast, highly maneuverable, graceful, energy-efficient, can cruise, bird-like, for long distances in the deep, open ocean, and rest on the sea bottom. “They are wonderful examples of optimal engineering by nature,” said Hilary Bart-Smith, an associate professor of mechanical
