Scientific advancement: It's all in the wiggle. OK, it's a lot more complicated than that. But when a team of researchers at MIT unveiled their robotic fish Wednesday, one of the keys they emphasized ...

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 ...

MIT’s latest robotic fish may not look like much on land, but once it gets in the water, it swims just like the real thing. And it could be an ideal tool for underwater exploration. Kamal Youcef-Toumi ...

They slip past beach cleanups and many treatment systems, then drift as persistent debris through rivers, lakes, and coastal waters. Tiny as sesame seeds—or ...

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 Science and ...

Real guppies respond to Robofish—a 3D-printed plastic model with a vaguely realistic paint job—as if it were a real schoolmate. Researchers used different-sized Robofish to show that guppy schools ...

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 ...

Robotic fish, developed by a team of European scientists from universities across the continent, today were introduced into their (un)natural habitat, at the northern Spanish port Gijon. The Shoal ...

The study of robotic fish and underwater vehicle dynamics presents a fascinating convergence of biomimetics and fluid mechanics. Drawing inspiration from the streamlined efficiency and manoeuvrability ...

Inspired by nature, researchers have developed a new framework using a geometric property called "curvity" to improve robot swarm coordination. This parameter, indicating how a robot curves under ...

One animal-inspired micro robot is the RoboBee, a device weighing less than a tenth of a gram, developed at Harvard’s Wyss ...
