Scientists create smallest programmable robots ever - smaller than salt grains, these breakthrough microscopic machines could ...

Massive manta rays and other pelagic ray species tend to hover near the ocean surface using a flapping motion. Benthic rays, ...

Using robotic fins, researchers at the University of California, Riverside have learned how stingrays are able to swim with ...

Swimming robots play a crucial role in mapping pollution, studying aquatic ecosystems, and monitoring water quality in sensitive areas such as coral reefs or lake shores. However, many devices rely on ...

This spinning-mass principle drives several robots in development. One is a remote-controlled wheel that jumps when the internal mass rotates fast enough to lift it off the ground. Unlike spring-based ...

Researchers have succeeded in developing the smallest fully autonomous robot in history. It measures less than 1 millimeter and can swim underwater for months powered only by light.

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

Robotic fish with the same tail programmed to have different mechanical properties swim through the water with different trajectories. Everything else being the same, the programmable 3D column ...

Manta rays are elegantly shaped. They swim by flapping their fins like enormous wings, and their gills filter for plankton with the utmost precision. These creatures have now inspired human ...
