Active Scales™ are the technology to sculpture the fluiddynamic characteristics of swimming or diving machines fundamentally by significantly reducing the drag and increasing the velocity and dy- namics. The results are very reduced energy consumption, highly safety, and totally new capabilities of maritime vehicles.

Active Scales™ mainly are realized as areal networks of Active Sensors™ and Active Actuators™ in form of very small Active Mo- tors™ with Active Screws™. Active Scales™ simply left behind the functionality, efficiency and performance of the concept of scales seen in nature and show how solutions of Bionics 2.0™ are looking like and functioning.
