The winner of the inaugural Natural Robotics Contest not only swims through the water like a real fish — it also helps combat pollution in the process. Created by University of Surrey chemistry ...
Underwater robots which mimic the ability of real-life fish to school together reveal new insights into 'collective intelligence' in nature.
(CNN)– SoFi isn’t like other fish, but they don’t seem to notice. Pale and plump with a tail that swishes side-to-side, the one-eyed robotic fish was built by scientists at MIT’s Computer ...
Researchers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, a Swiss university, have created a miniature robot that can swim with fish. No biggie, right? Well, this robot also learns how fish ...
Robot fish sucks up microplastics could one day help in cleaning up the world's plastic-polluted oceans. Are robotic fishes the solution to microplastic pollution in oceans?
Researchers detail the evolution of the world’s strangest fish, and describe how it could be a potentially powerful tool for scientists to study ocean life.
“The fish robot can become a platform for biologists to study marine life and use it for controlled studies,” study first author Robert Katzschmann told Gizmodo.
Some robot fish we've seen wouldn't be able to escape a predator if their fins depended on it. Enter the new fish-shaped "soft robot" developed by Andrew Marchese, a graduate student in MIT's ...
In an study to see if animals will react to robotic attempts to interact with them, Swiss researchers have built a robotic fish that can successfully imitate and mingle with zebrafish."We created ...
The research provided a practical method to study fish-robot interactions, which can lead to improved underwater robot designs to provide more affordable, scalable and effective solutions.
It’s SoFi, the robotic fish! Developed by researchers at MIT, SoFi is a soft-bodied robot that glides silently through the water with a smooth, undulating motion designed to mimic the movements ...
Their robotic lionfish illustrates that battery fluid is an effective hydraulic fluid as well, meaning that one system can power a robot in in two different ways — mechanically and electrically. That ...
