In nature, fish are excellent swimmers due to their flexible and precise control of tail, which allows them to freely transform between the smooth flapping and the motion of rapid response so that they can move with dexterity. Here, inspired by the versatile motion abilities of fish, a novel robotic fish has been developed, featuring the capability of adaptable bistability. Through tuning the bist...
