Scientists studied fluid mechanics to simulate and build a squidlike robot that’s fast, quiet and hard to see. Inspired by the unique and efficient swimming strategy of cephalopods, sc... Read more
With a better understanding of how fish move, researchers eventually could develop faster, more efficient propulsion systems for manned and unmanned underwater vehicles. Mechanical engineers... Read more
An innovative, eel-like robot developed by engineers and marine biologists at the University of California can swim silently in salt water without an electric motor. Instead, the robot uses... Read more
Robots are bringing an important layer of security to our ports, disguised as fish. Developed by Boston Engineering and funded by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Techno... Read more
The robot, called OceanOne, is powered by artificial intelligence and haptic feedback systems, allowing human pilots an unprecedented ability to explore the depths of the oceans in high fide... Read more
Scientists have developed an octopus-like robot, which can zoom through water with ultra-fast propulsion and acceleration never before seen in man-made underwater vehicles. Most fast aquatic... Read more
From cumbersome dinosaur undercover to anguilliform spy? On 24 October 2014, Sweden called off the hunt for a submarine after a week-long underwater search in the Stockholm archipelago. Trig... Read more
