Lots of robots use bioinspiration in their design. AmphiBot's elegant motion in the water has come from the equivalent what are called central pattern generators (CPGs), which are sequences of neural circuits (the biological kind) that generate the sort of rhythms that you see in eel-like animals that rely on oscillations to move.
All of them are backed by expert roboticists with years of design experience. This is a sensible design choice to get up and running, but would definitely need redoing for longer-term operation. Designing the whole stack of hardware, simulation and data infrastructure is requiring Tesla to reinvent the wheel on many fronts.
They may also schedule a demo drive and learn more about Rivian’s brand and mission.
