(CNN) — A robot created at Stanford University in California is diving down to shipwrecks and sunken planes in a way that humans can’t. Known as OceanOneK, the robot allows its operators to feel like ...

Jellyfish and octopus have frequently served as an inspiration for soft robotics, especially when it comes to designing appendages that can delicately handle fragile objects. Now, the experts over at ...

MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has unveiled SoFi, a soft robotic fish that can swim in the ocean using realistic movements, enabling it to get up close and ...

The OceanOneK is designed to explore up to 1 kilometer below the surface of the water, but even at shallow depths, swimming alongside this robot is impressive. Claire Reilly was a video host, ...

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 ...

Mingxi Zhou, a professor at the University of Rhode Island’s Graduate School of Oceanography, is looking into how his lab could improve the systems that measure the ocean floor and aquaculture ...

The towering seamount off the coast of American Samoa was explored by underwater robot for the first time since 2005.

The robot is about 5 feet (1.5 meters) long, and its brain can register how carefully it must handle an object without breaking it -- like coral or sea-weathered artifacts. An operator can control the ...
