✦AI Summary
MIT researchers have developed a biomimetic robot capable of both flying and swimming, modeled after diving birds like puffins. This technology aims to assist scientists in monitoring marine ecosystems more efficiently.
With a flap of its wings, something resembling a bird dives into the water, swims around and soars back into the skies. But it’s not a bird, it’s a robot. And the researchers who created it think that it could be a big help in studying ocean habitats.
