Plants are increasingly becoming a source of inspiration for robotics and engineers to develop bioinspired, adaptive, and multifunctional machines. In this study, we propose a bioinspired aquatic machine that mimics the fruit of the water caltrop (Trapa natans L.). Among various plant species, T. natans produces unique woody fruits that can disperse passively via water currents or by clinging to boats or waterfowls. Inspired by the structures and dispersal mechanisms of T. natans, we designed miniaturized biomimetic machines capable of passive dispersion in aquatic ecosystems. In order to study our selected biological model, we collected natural fresh and dried mature samples of T. natans fruits. We designed biomimetic aquatic machines by extracting the main geometrical details from the natural samples, and by exploiting advanced three-dimensional reconstruction techniques, including x-ray micro-computed topography (Micro-CT). Then, we successfully fabricate the biomimetic machines at high-resolution in two configurations (hollow body and solid body) using light-based bioprinting of photo-responsive hydrogels. We also characterized the mechanical properties of the bioprinted materials through compression tests. Finally, we evaluated the floating behavior of the biomimetic machines in a flow chamber as a proof of concept. This biomimetic approach enhances the adaptability of the machine in aquatic environments, offering new design insights for underwater, soft, and microrobotics.
