21 pages, 6 figures, 2 tables, 1 appendix, supplementary material https://figshare.com/s/4e2f76d5056beb7c0f97.-- Data Availability Statement: The EndNote file containing the database of the publication extracted is available online at https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.13337327 (Figshare repository, accessed on 28 May 2021) ; Mechatronic and soft robotics are taking inspiration from the animal kingdom to create new high-performance robots. Here, we focused on marine biomimetic research and used innovative bibliographic statistics tools, to highlight established and emerging knowledge domains. A total of 6980 scientific publications retrieved from the Scopus database (1950–2020), evidencing a sharp research increase in 2003–2004. Clustering analysis of countries collaborations showed two major Asian-North America and European clusters. Three significant areas appeared: (i) energy provision, whose advancement mainly relies on microbial fuel cells, (ii) biomaterials for not yet fully operational soft-robotic solutions; and finally (iii), design and control, chiefly oriented to locomotor designs. In this scenario, marine biomimicking robotics still lacks solutions for the long-lasting energy provision, which presently hinders operation autonomy. In the research environment, identifying natural processes by which living organisms obtain energy is thus urgent to sustain energy-demanding tasks while, at the same time, the natural designs must increasingly inform to optimize energy consumption ; This research was developed within the framework of the Tecnoterra Associate Research UNIT (ICM-CSIC/UPC) and the following project activities: ARIM (Autonomous Robotic sea-floor Infrastructure for benthopelagic Monitoring; MartTERA ERA-Net Cofund), and RESBIO [TEC2017-87861-R; Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades; PI: J.A.].
