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 ...

Underwater robots face many challenges before they can truly master the deep, such as stability in choppy currents. A new ...

Researchers have made a robot that can be eaten after use. The eco-friendly aquatic bot is made from fish food and could be used to monitor the environment and deliver nutrients. It works by creating ...

A 13mm-long black fish silently patrols the ocean, not to feed or predate, but to clean. Soft and squishy to touch, the flesh of this fish is made of the same material as pearls are made of. As it ...

(CNN) — Some 400 kilometers (250 miles) from the nearest sea, engineering students at Switzerland’s ETH Zurich are hard at work on cutting-edge robots that may change the way the world’s oceans are ...

The boat-shaped robot takes advantage of the same phenomenon – the Marangoni effect – used by some aquatic insects to propel themselves across the surface of water. A chemical reaction within a tiny ...

Researchers have created microscopic robots so small they’re barely visible, yet smart enough to sense, decide, and move completely on their own. Powered by light and equipped with tiny computers, the ...
