MIT and EPFL Engineers Develop Robotic Puffin to Master Air-Water Transition
Engineers at MIT and EPFL have developed a robotic puffin designed to mimic the unique ability of seabirds to seamlessly transition between flying through the air and swimming underwater. This breakthrough matters because navigating the vast density difference between air and water presents immense mechanical challenges, and mastering it could revolutionize aquatic and aerial drone technology.
