Caption
A sliding robot with two magnetically coded wings is transferred onto four foam balls and floats on the water. A fast-rotating magnet beneath the water actuates the robot to flap its wings at high frequency. Due to the aerodynamic force exerted on the wings, the robot can move forward in a water channel.
