Bio-inspired underwater robots are engineered to replicate the morphology, movements, and behaviors of aquatic animals, which have evolved amazingly underwater mobility. This interdisciplinary field of research combines principles from biology, engineering, computer science, fluid dynamics, and robotics to develop efficient and adaptable underwater vehicles. Researchers have created various designs inspired by aquatic organisms such as fish, dolphins, and jellyfish. These bio-inspired robots are employed in a range of applications, including ocean exploration, environmental monitoring, and search and rescue operations. Their capability to navigate complex marine environments makes them invaluable tools for both researchers and industry professionals.
