They look like plastic bath toys, but scientists say these tiny new robotic fish mimic the swimming style of real bass or tuna and can maneuver into crevices too small for traditional underwater ...

Scientists have created the first convincing robotic fish that shoals will accept as one of their own. The innovation opens up new possibilities for studying fish behavior and group dynamics, which ...

Traditional fish should definitely start keeping their guard up, as we've seen a noticeable influx of robotic alternatives flapping around here recently. Joining the school today is the Robofish, a ...

Many of today's underwater robots need to periodically come up to the surface to communicate with their human supervisors. But researchers at the University of Washington (UW) have developed a new ...

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 discovered ...

Most ocean robots have to talk to scientists or satellites to share information. A new school of robotic fish communicate directly, allowing them to work cooperatively without coming to the surface.

Robofish could monitor pollution, undersea volcanoes or enemy submarines. June 10, 2008 — -- If it swims like a fish and acts like a fish, then it must be a fish, right? Nope, it's robofish, the ...

Scientists seem to like the idea of robotic fish, and why not? They have all sorts of potential applications including exploration, pollution-detection, communications, or just for quiet contemplation ...

In the world of underwater robots, this is a team of pioneers. While most ocean robots require periodic communication with scientist or satellite intermediaries to share information, these can work ...

[Credit: BMT Group] The next time you go scuba diving in a coral reef somewhere while on vacation, make sure all those fish you’re swimming with are actually real. You may actually find yourself ...

Meet BIKI, the underwater drone that swims like a fish. The robofish comes equipped with an Ultra HD 4K camera and can dive up to 196 feet. BIKI can be controlled via an app on your phone/tablet or by ...
