Stretch and pressure, the keys to eels' remarkable locomotive abilities, inform development of new robot
A spinal cord injury in most vertebrates likely inhibits locomotion and induces paralysis—not so in eels. They not only ...
Eel movement involves stretch and pressure signals, enabling swimming, crawling, and recovery after spinal injury.

Eels’ locomotion secret could help design next-gen advanced robots
It was found that eels use sensory signals from their bodies, such as stretch and pressure, to adapt to their environment.
A neural circuit model tested in amphibious robots developed at EPFL shows how multisensory feedback enables eels to swim even after a spinal cord injury, while also providing new insights into the ...
