This is Pleobot, a krill-inspired robot for underwater exploration

Plus: 16 years later, a 4GB Apple iPhone is set to auction for $100,000 or more Ocean navigation systems are needed to collect data for surveys or research, search and rescue missions, or explore the rich alien life there. Scientists from Brown University have now studied krill to build a Pleobot, a krill-inspired robot for underwater exploration and locomotion, which could help not just on Earth but on moons and other planets in the solar system. Equipped with metachronal swimming technique, krill can function in diverse and complex oceanic habitats and make large vertical migrations of over 1,000 meters twice daily. Additionally, it results in remarkable maneuverability, more in our [Must Read]( below. But first, here’s your [video of the day](. Good morning. I’m Shubhangi, an editorial assistant at IE.

VIDEO OF THE DAY [How two bicycle mechanics defied gravity!]( [How two bicycle mechanics defied gravity!]( The remarkable leap from the Wright Brothers' flyer to the advanced Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a testament to human ambition and innovation. We explore the history of aviation, acknowledging the pioneering efforts of the Wright Brothers and marveling at the cutting-edge technology of the F-35 Lightning II. MUST READ [Pleobot, a krill-inspired robot]( [This is Pleobot, a krill-inspired robot for underwater exploration]( Inspired by nature, scientists have created a krill-inspired robot called Pleobot that could be helpful for oceanic navigation and search and rescue missions. With the recent news of the Titan, it has become imminent for scientists to invent a machine that not only works well underwater but can successfully locate underwater exploration and locomotion in the deep sea. This krill-inspired device has the ability to function in diverse and complex oceanic habitats and make large vertical migrations of over 1,000 meters twice daily. Additionally, it results in remarkable maneuverability thanks to the metachronal swimming technique. Read the article and delve into [the findings](.
