Video: Fish-inspired robots coordinate movements without any outside control

By Lisa McDonald / February 3, 2021

Autonomous robots, which can perform tasks with little to no human intervention or interaction, are desirable in a variety of applications, including spaceflight, household maintenance, and delivering goods. Researchers at Harvard University developed fish-shaped robots called Bluebots that can autonomously self-organize in water, which may be useful for environmental monitoring.
