Fake blood pumps life into this robotic fish

Posted by in categories: bioengineering, biotech/medical, robotics/AI

Researchers have engineered a robotic lionfish with synthetic arteries, similar to those found in a human’s circulatory system. The fish “blood” that runs through it serves as both the robot’s power source and controls its movement. The findings, published Wednesday in Nature, may propel the new wave of soft robots, in which inventors seek to improve lifelike automated machines for human connection.


Synthetic blood vessels in a new robotic fish could improve the technology needed to make lifelike robots run longer.
