Real guppies respond to Robofish—a 3D-printed plastic model with a vaguely realistic paint job—as if it were a real schoolmate. Researchers used different-sized Robofish to show that guppy schools ...

The robot — inspired by animals such as birds, meercats, and seals —can perform different modes of movement to navigate its environment, including flying, rolling, crawling, crouching, balancing, and ...

The "Morphobot" will be able to transform to get into inaccessible environments. A real-life transforming robot designed to mimic the movement of animals that roam Planet Earth will eventually change ...
