Underwater Hydrojetting System

The Underwater Hydrojetting System is a project developed in the Organic Robotics Laboratory by Dr. Robert Shepherd's team at Cornell University.

The team developing is led by Robert Shepherd, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering. The project explores combustion potential in soft robotics.

The combustion chamber mimics the mantle of a squid, which inflates it rapidly and expels fluid in order to propel itself forward.

Hydrogen and oxygen gas is stored in the combustion chamber. Igniting the gas expands these internal chambers, alters the volume of...
