Nasa has recently announced funding for a study into the feasibility of sending swarms of miniature swimming robots to explore oceans beneath the icy shells of our Solar System's many 'ocean worlds'. But don�t imagine metal humanoids swimming frog-like underwater. They will probably be simple, triangular wedges.
