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 ...

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 ...

A school of mechanical, battery-powered robots in the shape of fish will be released into a Spanish port to help monitor pollution there, scientists said Friday. The 5-foot-long robots work by ...

A robotic fish from engineers at the University of Surrey is making waves in the fight against plastic pollution. It doesn’t just collect plastic, it eats it to power itself. Using technology that ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Some fish are almost impossible for scientists to observe: the Greenland shark, which can live for more than 400 years, was caught on camera for the first time this month. Tracking marine animal can ...

Robotic tuna fish have been around longer than smartphones. In 1993, MIT scientists built the RoboTuna, an eyeless, menacing thing covered in Lycra, to see if the bot could teach the researchers how ...

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 ...
