The winner of the inaugural Natural Robotics Contest not only swims through the water like a real fish — it also helps combat pollution in the process. Created by University of Surrey chemistry ...

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; ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Underwater vehicles haven’t changed much since the submarines of World War II. They’re rigid, fairly boxy and use propellers to ...

Imagine if there were a robotic fish that filtered microplastic particles out of the water as it swam. Well, now there is one, and it's the physical version of the winning concept in the first-ever ...

A robot fish called "Robo-Fish" has been created after winning a robotics contest at the University of Surrey, as reported by Interesting Engineering. Robotic fishes swim in a water glass tank ...
