If the argument that art imitates life holds true, than MIT’s fish-like soft robot ― a robot powered by fluid flowing through flexible channels ― is art. Researchers from the prestigious university ...

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 ...

Researchers in China have developed a school of robot fish that ingest microplastics as they swim around. The team from Sichuan University in southwest China hope to use the robofish to clean up ...

They are one of nature's most spectacular and most mysterious spectacles — moments where hundreds if not thousands of animals, herrings, starlings, beetles, appear to move together seemingly as one ...

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. [Narrator] You're looking at a brand new ...

Researchers have created a "soft" robofish powered by carbon dioxide that can swim around on its own and execute a critical escape maneuver just as fast as a real fish. Freelancer Michael Franco ...

Dubbed SoFi, the robot can operate at multiple depths, swim in a straight line, turn, dive, and even maneuver its way underneath corals. I'm PCMag's managing editor for consumer electronics, ...

For environmental researchers, using robots to collect much-needed water samples can be tricky. The bot might have trouble navigating around trash while collecting samples from polluted waters, for ...

Could robotic fishes solve our problem with plastic pollution in the oceans? According to a group of Chinese researchers from Sichuan University in southwest China, robot fish that sucks up ...

A robot fish, which was designed to literally scare invasive fish species away from certain ecosystems, just passed its first round of tests with flying colors. BEIJING, CHINA - AUGUST 15: A bionic ...

In the future, robots will not only replace caregivers and make sushi, but they’ll also lend a hand offshore. According to Reuters, a team of European scientists at the University of Essex developed a ...

Experiments provide useful cues for the way aquaculture salmon respond to underwater robots. With the world’s population on course to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, the global demand for protein is ...
