Meet Pleurobot, an Amphibious Robot!

Watch these other amazing biomimicry robots here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOh2ZY1VHGE

We meet Pleurobot, a Salamander-like robot that can both walk on land and swim in the water (with a wetsuit!) Kishore, our new science correspondent, chats with professor Auke Ijspeert of the EPFL about how Pluerobot's movements were programmed and how biorobotics engineers studied the physiology of salamanders in making this robot.

Thanks to Auke Ijspeert and his team for chatting with! Learn more about the EPFL's biorobotics laboratory here: http://biorob.epfl.ch/
