PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Picture a network of interconnected, autonomous robots working together in a coordinated dance to navigate the pitch-black surroundings of the ocean while ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Robotics engineers are one step closer to building a swarm of krill ...

While most of us may just think of krill as baleen whale food, the tiny crustaceans are also very adept swimmers … enough so that scientists have now developed a krill-inspired robotic platform in ...

Imagine looking at the world through the stalked compound eyes of krill in the Southern Ocean. All of a sudden, a penguin appears like a voracious giant, streamlined like a torpedo, chasing and ...

Antarctic krill swimming between the Southern Ocean's surface and seafloor depths, make a "surprisingly small" contribution to the carbon export "highway" compared to their fast-sinking feces, ...

A robotic leg moving through water creates similar patterns to the motion of krill as they swim, and could be used to study the role these animals play in their marine environment. Krill are small ...

This tiny robotic leg could help scientists to study underwater creatures and explore hard to reach parts of the ocean! Professor Monica Martinez Wilhelmus and her team of researchers at Brown ...

ABSTRACT: An experimental method to estimate the relative swimming capacity of pelagic crustaceans is proposed. Swimming capacity measured as propulsive force can be estimated by attaching the animal ...

Researchers have presented important first steps in building underwater navigation robots. Picture a network of interconnected, autonomous robots working together in a coordinated dance to navigate ...
