Madeleine, une tortue-robot dotée de quatre nageoires, a été construite afin que les scientifiques puissent étudier la façon dont des animaux marins aujourd'hui éteints pouvaient nager.
L'ingénieur dit : "The business end of robot Madeleine is really her flippers, and so these flippers plug in to the motors right here. They are independently controlled. So, we can have Madeleine swimming with front two, we can have her using the back ones, or we can have her swimming with all four. "
