"No one's ever really delved into the physics of underwater walking," says Dr. Henry Astley, a biomimicry professor at University of Akron. Determining which forces dictate underwater walking will answer evolutionary questions, provide insight into the animals of today, and equip engineers with valuable information that will lead to more efficient and elegant underwater walking robots. These robots could have endless applications, aiding in anything from underwater drilling to emergency rescue to exploration.
