Amphibious Robot Demonstrates High-Speed Water Entry
xiaohu · x · 2026-07-16
This post supplements the same amphibious robot's **reverse action**: it can dive into water at about **5 m/s**, then rapidly slow down to about **0.5 m/s**, and continue swimming underwater using its wings. This demonstrates that the platform not only can take off from water but also has good water-entry buffering and attitude switching capabilities, further showcasing the feasibility of water-air-ground transition.
