可潜入4000米深海！我国最新研制“机器鱼”来了

Core Insights - The rapid development of intelligent robots in China is expanding their application scenarios, including deep-sea exploration [1][3] - A new flexible robot, developed by Harbin Engineering University, can operate at depths of 4,000 meters, mimicking fish movements [1] - The robot measures approximately 32 cm in length and weighs 670 g, successfully navigating extreme underwater conditions [1] Technology and Innovation - The research team has overcome the physical limits of materials to create a robot that can withstand the immense pressure of deep-sea environments, equivalent to hundreds of tons [1] - Traditional rigid structures face risks of deformation and rupture under such pressure, prompting the use of liquid materials and flexible structures in the robot's design [1] - The driving mechanism utilizes liquid-filled plastic bags with flexible electrodes, allowing for movement through the contraction and deformation of the plastic [1] Research and Development - The team has completed experimental tests at a depth of 10,000 meters and plans to conduct real-world trials in full ocean depth [3] - The research findings were published in the prestigious journal "Science Robotics" on August 14 [3]
