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 ...

A group of engineering students have developed a robotic fish to help solve mysteries of the ocean. The soft robotic underwater fish, called Eve, blends into a coral reef environment, allowing ...

(CNN) — Some 400 kilometers (250 miles) from the nearest sea, engineering students at Switzerland’s ETH Zurich are hard at work on cutting-edge robots that may change the way the world’s oceans are ...

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 ...

A 13mm-long black fish silently patrols the ocean, not to feed or predate, but to clean. Soft and squishy to touch, the flesh of this fish is made of the same material as pearls are made of. As it ...

When designing fish-like underwater robots, you want a means of propulsion which is both energy-efficient and reasonably speedy. A new tail-flapping system may fit the bill, paving the way for wider ...

(a) In nature, small fish can swim agilely and increase their survival probabilities by forming schools that dynamically aggregate and disperse for collective foraging. (b) Inspired by nature, a ...
