Havet er utrolig viktig for oss. Det inneholder ressurser og informasjon som er essensielt for å løse globale utfordringer.
For å utforske havene trenger vi marine roboter, men disse har sine begrensninger. Ved å lære fra naturen, har vi utviklet svømmende roboter som beveger seg som slanger gjennom havet. På grunn av denne utformingen er de i stand til å reise langt og nå gjennom smale åpninger i stein eller is. Disse slangerobotene har også en fleksible arm, noe som gjør den i stand til å samle prøver fra havbunnen. I dette foredraget presenteres forskningen på svømmende roboter og hvordan disse kan utforske større deler av havet enn noen gang før.

-----------------------------------------
The oceans are tremendously important to us. They contain resources and information that are crucial for solving our global challenges.
To explore the oceans we need marine robots, but conventional marine robots all have their limitations. Learning from nature, we have instead developed swimming snake robots, which can move like sea snakes through the oceans. With their slender and flexible body, they can travel long distances and they can access narrow spaces between rocks and inside ice. Also, since the snake robot is a dexterous robot manipulator arm, it can interact with the environment, for instance picking up samples from the sea floor. This presentation will present the research on swimming snake robots and how this new, bio-inspired marine robot makes us ready to fully explore our oceans.
