Although today's robots are often stronger and faster than humans, they still lack human and animal flexibility. That is why researchers like AMOS key person Prof. Kristin Y. Pettersen have been examining elastic robots and their application under water.

At AMOS, key person Prof. Kristin Y. Pettersen has investigated snake robots in collaboration with SINTEF ITK over several years. It is a central topic at AMOS, where an interdisciplinary team with researchers in cybernetics and hydrodynamics assess how the technology can be adapted for applications under water. Among others, Professors A.J. Sørensen, O.M. Faltinsen and Marilena Greco have joined the team.
