Watch the 3D printed wave producing robot (SAW) in action below: The first single actuator wave-like robot (SAW) has applications in medicine, security and search and rescue. A waterproof version can swim at six centimetres per second, researchers said. The first single actuator wave-like robot (SAW) developed by researchers from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) in Israel has applications in medicine, security and search and rescue. The 3D-printed robot can move forward or backward in a wave-like motion, moving much like a worm would in a perpendicular wave, they said.
