HARTING Connectivity Solutions

To be suitable for automation, a connection technology must be flexibly expandable, robust and reliable. Our standardised connectors and customised interfaces support the modular design of production lines. They make a key contribution to shortening development times, facilitating transportation, and making installation and maintenance both easier and faster.

Most of the world is covered in oceans, which are highly polluted. Ocean covers 70% of the Earth’s surface, but 80% is unmapped. Devices that operate underwater are essential for environmental applications. However, current prototypes frequently employ large, noisy actuators and limited configurations.

Roboticists at Stuttgart’s Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPIIS) have created a jellyfish-inspired underwater robot that they hope can collect waste from the ocean’s bottom. The almost silent prototype can trap things under its body without physical touch, allowing for safe interactions in sensitive situations like coral reefs. Jellyfish-Bot has the potential to be a major tool for environmental restoration.

They have created an underwater robot inspired by jellyfish that is adaptable, energy-efficient, and practically noisefree. Due to electrical motors or hydraulic
