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 ...

The robot fish is designed to inspect fish farm nets, carry sensors, and improve the maintenance of underwater facilities. The team conducted the tests in the university pool first and then in the ...

In an study to see if animals will react to robotic attempts to interact with them, Swiss researchers have built a robotic fish that can successfully imitate and mingle with zebrafish."We created a ...

Researchers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, a Swiss university, have created a miniature robot that can swim with fish. No biggie, right? Well, this robot also learns how fish in the ...

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 ...

"SoFi" is a soft robotic fish with a fish-eye lens (of course) that can explore where few other robots or humans can, and without spooking the locals. Eric Mack has been a CNET contributor since 2011.

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 ...

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 humanoid robot may have just been granted citizenship status for the first time, but we're still a long way from crossing the uncanny valley to where they blend seamlessly into our society. But ...

It’s SoFi, the robotic fish! Developed by researchers at MIT, SoFi is a soft-bodied robot that glides silently through the water with a smooth, undulating motion designed to mimic the movements of ...

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 ...
