The underwater robots use algorithms, 3D vision, and LED lights to coordinate their behaviour like schools of real fish.

Chris Burns - Jan 15, 2021, 2:53pm CST A swarm robotic fish donned the cover of Science Robotics this week courtesy of researchers from Harvard University. Florian Berlinger, Melvin Gauchi, and Radhika Nagpal delivered a paper on “Implicit coordination for 3D underwater collective behaviors in a fish-inspired robot swarm.” These little robots are very, very cute, too. The 3D underwater robot collective in this research is called Blueswarm. The robots are called Bluebots. Each Bluebot works with 3D visual perception and gets around with “autonomous 3D multifin locomot...

Why have a school of fish when you can have a school of robots?

Autonomous robot swarm swims like a school of fish These underwater robots operate as a collective artificial intelligence. Researchers have devised a swarm of small fish-inspired robots that can synchronize their movements by themselves, without any human input. The autonomous robots essentially mimic the behavior of a school of fish in nature, exhibiting a realistic, complex three-dimensional collective behavior. Each robo-fish (called a ‘Bluebot’) is equipped with cameras and sensors that enable it to track its neighbors and get a sense of direction. This is a step beyond the typical...

WASHINGTON, Jan 14 — Inspired by how schools of fish intuitively synchronise their movements, Harvard scientists have engineered miniature underwater robots capable of forming autonomous swarms. Each robotic fish, known as a “Bluebot,” is equipped with cameras and blue LED lights that sens...
