A team has shown that reinforcement learning -i.e., a neural network that learns the best action to perform at each moment based on a series of rewards- allows autonomous vehicles and underwater ...

Underwater robots face many challenges before they can truly master the deep, such as stability in choppy currents. A new ...

Bio-inspired underwater robots are engineered to replicate the morphology, movements, and behaviors of aquatic animals, which have evolved amazingly underwater mobility. This interdisciplinary field ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists at the University of Southampton and University of Edinburgh have developed a flexible underwater robot that can propel itself through water in the same style as nature's ...

There's a special robot that can explore underwater with ease-and it's not like any other machines you previously saw. The remarkable innovation known as "HERO-BLUE" is a new type of remotely operated ...

Here’s a new turn on the ongoing effort to turn the mechanics of the natural world into robot movement. Scientists at the University of Southampton and University of Edinburgh have developed a ...

When Jonas Wüst first met rescue divers in Switzerland, what struck him wasn’t their courage, it was how much danger still defined their work. “We realized how outdated it all was,” he recalls.
