Zebrabox images comparing swimming patterns in wild type zebrafish (left) and zebrafish with the NUS1 mutation (right). Note the affected fish swam slower than wild type fish and stayed near the ...

Each fish-inspired robot uses two wide-angle cameras to look for the LEDs on its companions. Image courtesy of Self-organizing Systems Research Group Researchers at Harvard University have created a ...

New simulations show that fish look downward when they swim because the stable riverbed below them provides more reliable information about their swimming direction and speed. Just as you might look ...
