How can some fish, like tuna, achieve remarkable speed while others, like eels, excel in maneuverability? A research team ...

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

The study of robotic fish and underwater vehicle dynamics presents a fascinating convergence of biomimetics and fluid mechanics. Drawing inspiration from the streamlined efficiency and manoeuvrability ...

Truth matters. Community matters. Your support makes both possible. LAist is one of the few places where news remains independent and free from political and corporate influence. Stand up for truth ...

Researchers built a fishlike robot that uses a programmable artificial tendon to tune its own tail stiffness while swimming in a water channel. The results were impressive: The robot could swim over a ...

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, ...

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 ...

Tiny, robotic fish powered by human heart cells suggest that scientists are getting closer to their goal of building replacement hearts from... Watch these robotic fish swim to the beat of human heart ...

Researchers at Northwestern University (including a robotics expert who consulted for Tron: Legacy) have developed a robotic knifefish, inspired by the actual fish that swims in the Amazon. The team ...
