Robots Bring Ancient Fish to Life, Revealing Their First Steps on Land

Researchers are developing robots inspired by ancient fish to study the water-to-land transition, approximately 390 million years ago. By replicating the anatomy and movements of extinct species, they hope to overcome the limitations of fossil evidence and test theories on early vertebrate locomotion. This approach aims to provide new insights into the evolution of walking. [...]
