They assembled a number of cylinders, each spaced about a foot apart, to form a fence-like structure, which they then lowered into a wave tank at MIT.

Wave tank laboratory experiments and computer simulations allow us to control the types of waves we produce and make it easier to collect a lot of data.

He’s been able to focus his energy on building a small wave tank, a science fair project he’s excited about, said his mom, Cheryl Jenrow.

The cutting edge of the design work for the strengthening is not being done at a beach or estuary, but in a long wave tank known as the flume in an industrial area of Delft, the historic city best known for its delicate blue and white china and painter Johannes Vermeer.

The researchers tested the robot in a lab, in a lake, and in a wave tank, discovering that it can escape from the water's surface even under relatively rough conditions.
