Invasive mosquito fish are often fearless. Free from the predators of their native range, these mosquito fish run rampant, throwing naive ecosystems from Europe to Australia out of whack. To keep the ...

Researchers at NYU Polytechnic University have managed to trick live fish into following a robot around. Stefano Marras and Maurizio Porfiri built their fishy robot to mimic as closely as possible the ...

They are one of nature's most spectacular and most mysterious spectacles — moments where hundreds if not thousands of animals, herrings, starlings, beetles, appear to move together seemingly as one ...

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 programmed to ...

The mysteries of the ocean abound. And now, a group of student researchers is trying out a new way to gain better and more accurate information — with a robot fish. The robot, named Belle, was created ...

Engineers have designed a robot fish that, under the right conditions, becomes head of the pack. Robots like this one could be used to lead schools of fish away from oil spills, underwater turbines or ...

Probing the largely unexplored question of what characteristics make a leader among schooling fish, researchers have discovered that by mimicking nature, a robotic fish can transform into a leader of ...

An invention born from a contest at England's University of Surrey might be swimming us closer to cleaner oceans. Researchers have created a robotic fish that doesn’t just collect plastic pollution; ...

A new breed of robot fish that is both relatively inexpensive and highly customizable is teaching students between the ages of 10 and 18 about technology and biology. It's the latest in a line of ...

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 of ...

A couple of years ago, a team of scientists from the University of Leeds succeeded in getting live stickleback fish to follow a computer-controlled "Robofish" as it was moved through their aquarium.
