The mysteries of the ocean abound. And now, a group of student researchers is trying out a new way to gain better and more accurate information — with a robot fish. The robot, named Belle, was created ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. An invention born from a contest at England's University of Surrey might be swimming us closer to cleaner oceans. Researchers have ...

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 ...

(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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Believe it or not, robotic fish aren’t anything new—Issac Newton developed a coal-fired sturgeon in 1013 A.D., while the ancient Sumerians used to ride on the backs of stone-and-sinew whales as they ...

Microplastics are found nearly everywhere on Earth and can be harmful to animals if they’re ingested. But it’s hard to remove such tiny particles from the environment, especially once they settle into ...

An invention born from a contest at England's University of Surrey might be swimming us closer to cleaner oceans. Researchers have created a robotic fish that doesn’t just collect plastic pollution; ...
