MIT researchers have created a soft, autonomous robotic fish that can change direction in a fraction of a second — nearly as fast as a real fish can. The softness of the robot enables the machine to ...

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 ...

It fell from a height of over 30 stories—yet astonishingly, it stood up and walked away! In the future, during earthquake rescue operations, these robots could be air-dropped by drones into rubble to ...

Biologically inspired soft robots make a lot of sense in a lot of different scenarios, but as with any class of technology, they have their limitations. Among other things, these compliant structures ...

Scientists have developed a soft robotic fish that they can control with sound to swim beside real fish in the ocean. The fish - named SoFi - was made from silicon rubber by researchers at MIT's ...

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 ...

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 ...

When it comes to designing better gizmos, efficiency is the name of the game. Why have two separate components to do two separate tasks, if you can have one do both? We have a whole bird-killing ...
