We are very excited to reveal the new generation of the Quadroin AUV! Video filmed by Submaris, Philipp Mall and EvoLogics, edited by EUNOIA VISIONS #EvoLogics #Quadroin #UnderwaterTechnology #Team #Oi24 youtu.be/nbwXrKI1X7k?si…

In this work, we use #robotics for the #biomechanics validation of a #prosthetic flipper for #seaturtles injured by #fishingnets @AUTuni @BioDesignLabNZ mdpi.com/2673-7078/3/3/…

A robot-turtle named Cornelia has shed light on how endangered green sea turtles can swim more than a marathon a day, while eating just algae and seagrass. The research from Auckland University of Technology was published in @SciReports: go.nature.com/3KDSE2n

Pleased to hear the echo in @NewstalkZB about the #Engineering we have done at @AUTuni. Thanks guys, really important for our kids to find interest in #science #Engineering and #savetheplanet newstalkzb.co.nz/lifestyle/tech…

To unlock the secrets of green sea turtle power - or how this ocean-going endangered species can swim more than a marathon in a day, while eating just algae and seagrass - @AUTuni scientists created Cornelia. Watch her in action here nzherald.co.nz/nz/more-robot-…

Thanks @nzherald for the echo. Hopefully it will inspire new generations students to join our @BioDesignLabNZ @AUTuni to study #Engineering to protect and preserve our planet. nzherald.co.nz/nz/more-robot-…

Does swimming a marathon a day while eating nothing but salad sound hard to you? 🥗 Consider the green sea turtle! aut.ac.nz/news/stories/m… @Lorenz0Garcia, @GeestNick, @BioDesignLabNZ, @AUTuni, @MBIEgovtnz, @MBIEsci @BioHeritageNZ Photo: Seasidesaltlife / Wikimedia Commons

Meet Cornelia, the robo-turtle developed at AUT to aid ocean conservation! aut.ac.nz/news/stories/m… @Lorenz0Garcia, @BioDesignLabNZ, @AUTuni, @MBIEgovtnz, @MBIEsci

Nick van der Geest, @Lorenz0Garcia, and colleagues @BioDesignLabNZ developed a new soft-robotic green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas), providing insights into the real animal's biomechanics during swimming nature.com/articles/s4159…

A @SciReports paper presents a soft-robotic sea turtle that reproduces the real animal's form and function to provide biomechanical insights without the need for invasive experimentation. go.nature.com/44ZIKjg

🐢 Thrilled to share our recent research paper on Sea Turtles and their swimming strategies. Evolution never ceases to amaze and inspire. 🌊 nature.com/articles/s4159…

Is this the first #Robotics sea #turtle which completely reproduces the real animal #biomechanics and also a new path to substitute invasive animal experimentation with #robots? @BioDesignLabNZ @AUTuni #research via @NaturePortfolio doi.org/10.1038/s41598…

#Artificial #muscles are a good system for #rehabilitation #robots in #physiotherapy but it is necesary to reduce the temperature to make them viable. At @BioDesignLabNZ @AUTuni, we provide a potential solution playing with their length doi.org/10.1088/1361-6… via @ioppublishing

寒くなってはきましたが、小笠原で暮らす子ガメたちは元気いっぱい！お腹もペコペコのようです☺️

@paleokrahl I saw a duck just like that in Berlin yesterday!! 😅

Just after completing all my testing for my PhD my dad got this very cool tattoo. Those who know me well will identify unique details related to my research. I would not have achieved what I did without my dad and @AUTBioDesign with support from @Lorenz0Garcia🐢🐬🦑🐠🦾

@Lorenz0Garcia 100%🐢

Behind the scenes. What is going on a Saturday at @autecms @AUTuni? Thanks crew for helping us to do good research at @AUTBioDesign @autresearch
