John Long, a biologist and author, studies sharks to create computer models and robotic sharks. His research focuses on the biomechanics of shark vertebrae, using biomimetic skeletons to understand their movement. Robotic sharks offer control and isolation of features, allowing for detailed study of vertebral columns. Findings reveal the importance of vertebral columns in propulsion and energy storage. This knowledge is applied to engineering challenges, such as combining soft and hard materials, enhancing understanding of bones and joints.
