Given that the estimated lifespan of a reef manta ray is approximately 40 years, Taurus is proving to scientists that there is still so much to learn about these g

Developed at North Carolina State University, the robots are called ‘butterfly bots’, and can swim more than four times faster than previous swimming soft robots. So, whilst manta rays may appear to be moving slowly, with their effortless pectoral fin strokes, they are actually moving incredibly fast! 📸 @jasminecorbettphotography 📍Raa Atoll, Maldives
