A high-tech aquarium holds robotic fish that feed off wireless power, glow, and swim about in a sealed tank. Freelance writer Amanda C. Kooser covers gadgets and tech news with a twist for CNET. When ...

Robotic fish developed by scientists at the University of Essex in the U.K. are soon to evolve from engineering curio to actual tool when they go on a world-first mission off the coast of Spain. As ...

Researchers at Harvard's Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering have created a set of fish-shaped underwater robots that can autonomously navigate and find each other, cooperating to ...

Robotic fish can make real fish like them simply by waving their artificial tails in a special way, researchers say. These droids could lead real fish away from perils such as underwater turbines, and ...

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; ...

Some fish are almost impossible for scientists to observe: the Greenland shark, which can live for more than 400 years, was caught on camera for the first time this month. Tracking marine animal can ...

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 ...

What is it with scientists and robotic animals? Did they not have pets as children? This year alone, we've seen robot ferrets, penguins, dogs, locusts, moles and bats. And now, scientists at MIT have ...

Robotic tuna fish have been around longer than smartphones. In 1993, MIT scientists built the RoboTuna, an eyeless, menacing thing covered in Lycra, to see if the bot could teach the researchers how ...

A team of engineers at Cornell's Organic Robotics Lab has built a soft-bodied robotic lionfish powered by electric blood, which not only serves as an energy source, but acts hydraulically to create ...
