Swumanoid (SWimming hUMANOID robot)
Swumanoid was created at Tokyo Institute of Technology to clarify the effects of physical forces acting on a swimmer's body (fluid resistance, etc).
The robot copies all movements of the swimmer thanks to 20 installed engines.
Robot parts were created using a 3D printer.
The average swimming speed is 300 feet in 2 minutes 36 seconds (91 meters).
