- 1Oarfish fins inspire new large underwater robot design●Mysterious oarfish's fins inspire large underwater robot design
Engineers have developed a large underwater robot modelled on the oarfish, a long, ribbon-like deep-sea fish known for its distinctive dorsal fin. The design draws on the fish's fin-based propulsion to enable efficient movement at scale. Details of the robot's capabilities and intended applications have not been fully outlined in the available reporting.

Researchers at Cornell University have designed a large underwater robot modelled on the oarfish, a deep-sea creature known for its long ribbon-like body and distinctive dorsal fin. The team studied how the fish propels itself with a rippling fin along its body and reproduced that movement in the robot, aiming for efficient, stable swimming at scale for future underwater exploration.
