riding the wave of progress

Hi! We are a student project at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zürich. Our purpose is to build a nautical robot which uses a special kind of fins inspired by cuttlefish.

The only four finned cuttlefish robot in the world, Sepios distances itself from classical nautical vehicles with its omnidirecitonality and high maneuverability. These qualities combined with its fishlike appearance and low disturbance are ideal for closing in on fish, making it the ideal device for marine life filming.
