Using biomimicry, researchers have convinced real fish to follow a robot. Understanding how to build robotic leaders could help scientists engineer Pied Pipers, to lead animals away from danger.

Scientists have developed a robot fish that mimics the movements of a carp. This robot which is essentially an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is ready for applications, as it can be ...

Researchers have developed a robotic spy fish. By designing robots to integrate with animal communities, the roboticists hope to unravel these animals' behavioral and social structures by learning ...

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. Soft to touch and just 1 ...

A bioinspired robot has provided the first experimental evidence that live zebrafish can be influenced by engineered robots.

Compared to a robot of similar design but without the synthetic blood, the robotic fish worked for about eight times longer, and without having to sacrifice dexterity.

Researchers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, a Swiss university, have created a miniature robot that can swim with fish. No biggie, right? Well, this robot also learns how fish ...

Underwater robots which mimic the ability of real-life fish to school together reveal new insights into 'collective intelligence' in nature.

The robo-fish “pushes the envelope on what machines could do today,” said Rus, who was also behind these cute-yet-creepy colorful jumping robot blocks. ALSO: ...

It’s SoFi, the robotic fish! Developed by researchers at MIT, SoFi is a soft-bodied robot that glides silently through the water with a smooth, undulating motion designed to mimic the movements ...

Engineers have designed a robot fish that can, under the right conditions, lead a school of live fish, who ride its wake.
