Uh-oh. Scientists at the University of Zurich’s Institute of Neuroinformatics are teaching robots to find prey and hunt it down, just like animal predators do with their prey. But they don’t ...

A novel system developed by researchers at HHMI's Janelia Research Campus that chases larval zebrafish around an arena with predator robots is enabling scientists to understand how these days ...

Researchers have found that larval zebrafish quickly learn to identify predators and find easy ways to avoid them. Larval zebrafish learn such things robustly just five days after beginning their ...

The robot can be disguised as a fox or coyote to scare wildlife away from runways.

The University of Western Australia The team documented the group dynamics with and without the robot predator before removing all predators for the final week of behavioral assessments.

Scientists at the University of Zurich and University of Ulster have developed a predator robot that uses machine learning to improve its tracking skills over time, Motherboard reports. The robot ...

They first placed a robot in an arena with a freely swimming zebrafish (pre-training). While the robot was stationary, the fish would explore the entire arena, including the area around the robot.

After decades of losing wildlife to Burmese pythons, Florida has introduced robots to combat the issue in the Everglades ...

They look, move and even smell like the kind of furry Everglades marsh rabbit a Burmese python would love to eat. It's the ...

A Menacing Robot Predator. The mosquitofish is wreaking havoc on native Australian marine life. In a new study, scientists tried to frighten it with a look-alike of its natural foe.
