Inspired by aquatic life, biomimetic propulsion systems replicate the efficient movement patterns of marine creatures. These systems use flexible materials and advanced actuators to create undulating motions similar to those of fish or marine mammals. The technology significantly reduces drag and enhances propulsive efficiency while maintaining near-silent operation. Recent advancements in smart materials and artificial muscles have enabled more sophisticated applications, with some prototypes demonstrating remarkable agility and speed while consuming less energy than traditional propulsion systems.
