Recent Publicity & Press

 

(i) NTU develops underwater vehicle with mimetic fin feature (13 May 2006)


NTU's School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering has invented a biomimetic underwater vehicle with undulating fin features. The prototypes modelled after the stingray and knifefish are quiet, unlike conventional propeller-driven machines. The invention can be configured for various underwater operations, such as underwater mission execution and surveillance, cable and pipeline inspection, ship-hull inspection, the study of marine life, and the mapping of underwater terrain. The research team is currently exploring how to improve the invention's energy efficiency.
