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 by students at the ...

With very little prodding from their human engineers, the seven robots eventually arrange themselves in a swirling tornado, a common defensive maneuver among real-life fish called milling.

It creates a safe and nutritious alternative to environmental monitoring devices made from artificial polymers and ...

BEIJING, July 12 (Reuters) - Robot fish that "eat" microplastics may one day help to clean up the world's polluted oceans, says a team of Chinese scientists from Sichuan University in southwest China.

Scientists have discovered that real schools of real fish can be steered along by artificial robot fish. Weird. But the news has big implications for green power production. Scientists have ...

Robotic fish might help solve an ecological problem by scaring an invasive fish species so profoundly that it is put off breeding. Eastern mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) were introduced in many ...

Now, the mosquitofish may have finally met its match: A menacing fish-shaped robot. It’s “their worst nightmare,” said Giovanni Polverino, a behavioral ecologist at the University of Western ...

“Eve” the robotic fish swings its silicone tail side to side, powered by pumps hidden inside, as it glides fluidly through Lake Zurich’s chilly water, where it is being tested by SURF-eDN ...
