Although we have seen robotic fish designed to unobtrusively study marine life, scientists more often use rigid remote-operated vehicles with noisy propellers that scare animals. That could eventually ...

A team of engineers and marine biologists at the University of California in the US have made a foot-long virtually transparent eel-like robot that uses artificial muscles filled with water to propel ...

(Nanowerk News) Transparent objects have their drawbacks: It is not without reason that we have stickers of birds’ silhouettes on big glass windows in order to protect their real-life conspecifics ...

An innovative, eel larvae-like robot developed by engineers and a marine biologist at the University of California can swim silently in salt water without an electric motor. Instead, the robot uses ...

A research team led by Professor Tao Kai from the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of Northwestern Polytechnical University has successfully developed a fully transparent, ...

The most common robot found in homes today is probably a robot vacuum, but in the future we could see robots in control of most household chores. They need to understand how to deal with transparent ...
