Abstract Earth’s oceans and waterways are a precious resource; however, they face numerous threats. The need for large-scale monitoring has become critical. One approach relies on innovative biomimetic robots, exploiting evolutionary characteristics of native marine animals, to prevent ecological disruption. This project presents the development and optimization of an underwater bionic robot inspired by the unique locomotive capabilities of green sea turtles, for autonomous monitoring of aquatic ecosystems.
