efficiency when compared to traditional underwater robots, which limits their practical use in
real-world applications. We leverage a fluidic closed-loop controller to actuate a passive
underwater glider. A soft hydrostatic pressure sensor is configured as a bang-bang
controller actuating a swim bladder made from silicone balloons. Our underwater glider
oscillates between the water surface and 4 m depth while traveling 15 m translationally. The …
