صَنَعَ بَاحِثُونَ رُوبُوتًا مَرِنًا يَسْبَحُ تَحْتَ الْمَاءِ. وَاسْتَوْحَوْا شَكْلَهُ مِنْ حَيَوَانٍ بَحْرِيٍّ يُسَمَّى نَجْمَ الْبَحْرِ الرِّيشِيَّ.

يَسْتَخْدِمُ الرُّوبُوتُ مُحَرِّكَيْنِ فَقَطْ، وَيَسْتَطِيعُ التَّحَرُّكَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَبْعَادٍ. فَيَصْعَدُ وَيَهْبِطُ، وَيَسْبَحُ إِلَى الْأَمَامِ أَوْ إِلَى الْخَلْفِ، وَيَدُورُ.

وَتُسَاعِدُهُ أَجْنِحَتُهُ الْمَرِنَةُ عَلَى تَغْيِيرِ حَرَكَتِهِ. وَيَسْتَخْدِمُ الْبَاحِثُونَ هَذَا التَّصْمِيمَ لِيَجْعَلُوا حَرَكَةَ الرُّوبُوتِ أَسْهَلَ، مِنْ دُونِ إِضَافَةِ مُحَرِّكَاتٍ كَثِيرَةٍ.

نُشِرَتِ الدِّرَاسَةُ فِي مَجَلَّةٍ عِلْمِيَّةٍ فِي أُكْتُوبَرَ ٢٠٢٦. وَيَرَى الْبَاحِثُونَ أَنَّ هَذَا الرُّوبُوتَ قَدْ يُسَاعِدُ فِي اسْتِكْشَافِ الْبَحْرِ وَمُرَاقَبَةِ الْبِيئَةِ تَحْتَ الْمَاءِ. وَهُوَ مَا زَالَ فِي مَرْحَلَةِ التَّجَارِبِ.

A Two-Motor Robot Moves in Three Dimensions Underwater

Researchers made a flexible robot that swims underwater. They modeled its shape on a sea animal called a feather star.

The robot uses only two motors and can move in three dimensions. It can rise and sink, swim forward or backward, and turn.

Its flexible wings help it change how it moves. The researchers use this design to make the robot move more easily without adding many motors.

The study was published in a scientific journal in October 2026. The researchers believe the robot may help explore the sea and monitor the underwater environment. It is still being tested.
