In the future, robots will not only replace caregivers and make sushi, but they’ll also lend a hand offshore. According to Reuters, a team of European scientists at the University of Essex developed a ...

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; ...

Robo-fish has been developed by a team of scientists at Sichuan University in China. They will be employed to clean up the oceans and microplastics that are found in the water bodies. The tech ...

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 ...

A team of MIT researchers has built a new generation of robo-fish that emulate the swimming motion of the real creatures with the intent of sending them into underwater locations where traditional ...

Robotic fish developed by scientists at the University of Essex in the U.K. are soon to evolve from engineering curio to actual tool when they go on a world-first mission off the coast of Spain. As ...

Robotic fish can make real fish like them simply by waving their artificial tails in a special way, researchers say. These droids could lead real fish away from perils such as underwater turbines, and ...

A high-tech aquarium holds robotic fish that feed off wireless power, glow, and swim about in a sealed tank. Freelance writer Amanda C. Kooser covers gadgets and tech news with a twist for CNET. When ...

For 20 years, scientists have been designing ever more realistic (and creepier) robotic fish. From that great tradition comes the RoboTuna, a miracle of “soft robotics.” Robotic tuna fish have been ...

What is it with scientists and robotic animals? Did they not have pets as children? This year alone, we've seen robot ferrets, penguins, dogs, locusts, moles and bats. And now, scientists at MIT have ...

A team of engineers at Cornell's Organic Robotics Lab has built a soft-bodied robotic lionfish powered by electric blood, which not only serves as an energy source, but acts hydraulically to create ...
