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 have developed miniature magnetic robots that mimic fish behavior, working together as coordinated swarms to ...

The Research Centre in Robotics and Underwater Technologies (CIRTESU) at Universitat Jaume I has tested a new way of linking robots underwater. This week, at PortCastelló, researchers attached a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

You’re a fish in the ocean. It’s 2023 and humans have begun deploying swarms of sentinel robot fish along the reef where you live that will monitor your environment, track pollution and collect ...
