The Soft Robotic Fish (SoFi) is a fish-shaped robot that inspects and examines underwater environments and life forms.[citation needed]
SoFi does closeup examination of ocean life forms, but specific movements need new interactions, using biomemetric machines that contain sensors and the ability to do agile swimming maneuvers.[1] SoFi is able to recreate complex structures and functions of natural organisms in synthetic forms.[2][3] Minimally distributive examinations of ocean life forms are mostly useful when inspecting ocean animal's behavior, such as swimming patterns and habitat interactions.
Biomimetric underwater observatory for large studies could form better understanding of ocean life, including social behavior and reactions to environmental changes, one way to achieve this is to use underwater vehicles that – to examine certain life forms – can also blend in to the point where real fishes swim a few inches away from the Soft Robotic Fish.[4]
SoFi can swim in the ocean for about 40 minutes.[5]
SoFi's creators
SoFi's creators are Daniela Rus, Joseph DelPreto, Robert Katzschmann, and Rus's students.
Daniela Rus
Daniela Rus is the Andrew & Erna Viterbi Professor of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science & Director of CSAIL. Rus has interest in robotics and computing of mobile. Rus has a 2002 class of MacArthur Fellow, which works in ACM, IEEE, and AAAI, Rus is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and the American Academy for Arts and Science. Rus earned her PhD from Cornell University for computing science[6]
Joseph DelPreto
Joseph DelPreto is a research scientist that works on Artificial intelligence, Robotics and wearable technologies. DelPreto aims to transform everyday life into easier works with machines he makes. DelPreto is working on communication with Sperm whale and improvement of sensors. DelPreto's hobbies include photography, unicycling, and piano, among others.[7]
Robert Katzschmann
Robert Katzschmann is the assistant professor at the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering at ETH Zurich. He has founded the soft robotics lab, where he creates robotic morphologies. Robert is the cofounder and scientific advisor of mimic robotics. Robert holds a Diplom-Ingenieur from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.[8]
