Minimal-actuation feather star–inspired soft swimmers for multimodal 3D maneuverability
“Here, we present a feather star–inspired soft robotic swimmer that uses only two pneumatic inputs to produce three distinct and switchable swimming modes: jellyfish-like pulsation, fishlike propulsion, and rotor-like reorientation.” — Haitao Qing et al., Science Advances 12, eaeg9211 (2026), DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aeg9211.
