This ultra-light robot utilizes silent undulating fins for propulsion, making it ideal for environmental monitoring and ecological research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional swimming robots often rely on noisy propellers that can disturb wildlife, but this new design allows for stealthy movement in sensitive areas like coral reefs and rice fields. Measuring smaller than a credit card, the robot can carry payloads heavier than itself and is capable of forward, backward, and sideways movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"490\" height=\"498\" src=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-25-110730.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-25-110730.png 490w, https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-25-110730-295x300.png 295w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The robot operates using a compact electronic control system that delivers high voltage to its actuators while consuming minimal power.
