Abstract: An innovative magnetic joint design has been developed as part of the construction of a bio-inspired Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) for wind farm inspection. This paper presents our ...

Though it doesn't have grasshopper legs, the Jollbot can jump like one. The spherical Jollbot, the brainchild of Rhodri Armour from the University of Bath, can roll across rugged terrain and leap over ...

They will look like fish, swim like fish and even sense like fish. In future we might have robofish patrolling our reefs and protecting our harbours. Professor Iain Anderson leads the biomimetics lab ...

The Robofish is St Edward’s Primary's solution to source to sea litter and students highlighted sustainability by using bioplastics in the drone’s construction. Tidy pupils at an Airdrie school have ...

A trio of robotic fish sporting tails and fins recently aced their first swim team test. While most underwater robots rely on guidance from a scientist or satellite, the new robots, called Robofish, ...

Swiss researchers launch Belle, an AI-driven robofish set to revolutionize marine conservation. Designed to mimic a real fish, Belle captures high-resolution underwater footage and DNA samples, ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...

Researchers in China have developed a school of robot fish that ingest microplastics as they swim around. The team from Sichuan University in southwest China hope to use the robofish to clean up ...

Verlume has joined with consortium partners to progress the development of an autonomous underwater robot that moves like a fish to enable efficient offshore inspection regimes in harsh and ...
