Fish have a sensory system known as the lateral line, which allows them to detect movements and pressure gradients in the water. Scientists have now given a robotic fish its own version of that system ...

Each fish-inspired robot uses two wide-angle cameras to look for the LEDs on its companions. Image courtesy of Self-organizing Systems Research Group Researchers at Harvard University have created a ...

Scientists have built a school of robotic fish powered by human heart cells. The fish, which swim on their own, show how lab-grown heart tissue can be designed to maintain a rhythmic beat indefinitely ...

Researchers from Harvard have created an artificial fish that can swim on its own. And it’s all thanks to tissue from a human heart. Just on its own that sounds pretty fascinating. However, the ...

The robot AgnathaX is modeled on the lamprey, a jawless, blood-sucking fish that's been largely unchanged by evolution for the past several hundred million years. Jesse Orrall (he/him/his) is a Senior ...

Researchers have developed miniature magnetic robots that mimic fish behavior, working together as coordinated swarms to ...

Daniel Quinn receives funding from The National Science Foundation and The Office of Naval Research. Underwater vehicles haven’t changed much since the submarines of World War II. They’re rigid, ...

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 ...
