Autonomous robot-bug to data collection from the water surface
Researchers from Binghamton University and the State University of New York have created a unique autonomous “bug robot” that can glide through water and collect data.
It uses bacteria-based biobatteries that provide reliable performance in challenging environments. One side of the device is hydrophilic and the other hydrophobic, allowing it to absorb nutrients from the water to fuel bacterial sp
