Starfish coordinate hundreds of feet to hop about — and they do it without a brain. The mechanical principles behind their movement could inspire underwater exploration robots. | New Scientist

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a tiny robot that mimics the movement of a starfish larva. It is driven by sound waves and equipped with tiny hairs that direct the fluid around it, just like its natural model. In the future, such microswimmers could deliver drugs to diseased cells with pinpoint accuracy. Credit: ETH Zürich -------------------------------- Get your company on Wevolver.
