NASA tests small underwater robots designed to explore icy moons' hidden oceans. The prototype called SWIM, which stands for Sensing With Independent Micro-swimmers, was constructed at NASA's Jet ...

Miniature Underwater Robots (MURs) are revolutionizing how humans explore aquatic environments. However, achieving efficient propulsion in highly resistive underwater conditions remains a formidable ...

There's a special robot that can explore underwater with ease-and it's not like any other machines you previously saw. The remarkable innovation known as "HERO-BLUE" is a new type of remotely operated ...

From the East Pacific Rise in the Pacific Ocean to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the Atlantic, researchers from the University of Delaware’s College of Earth, Ocean and Environment led the charge of ...

As oil and gas fields in shallower waters are depleted and operators seek to access deeper reserves, underwater robots have surfaced as crucial tools for industrial progress. The devices are known by ...

A lamprey’s mouth has inspired a new suction device that can grip in air and underwater. The design aims to solve a persistent problem in robotics: ordinary suction cups lose their hold on rough, ...

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) from the University of Sydney will be taking a deep dive in the oceans surrounding Norfolk Island to collect high-resolution seafloor images. The images will then ...

The vast and mysterious realm of the deep sea has yielded another intriguing discovery, thanks to the advanced underwater robots of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI). During an ...

Here’s a new turn on the ongoing effort to turn the mechanics of the natural world into robot movement. Scientists at the University of Southampton and University of Edinburgh have developed a ...

Bio-inspired underwater robots are engineered to replicate the morphology, movements, and behaviors of aquatic animals, which have evolved amazingly underwater mobility. This interdisciplinary field ...
