'SoFi': Soft robotic fish swims alongside real ones in coral reefs
March 21, 2018 by Adam Conner-Simons, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
This month scientists published rare footage of one of the Arctic's most elusive sharks. The findings demonstrate that, even with many technological advances in recent years, it remains a challenging task to document marine life up close.
But MIT computer scientists believe they have a possible solution: using robots.
In a paper out today, a team from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) unveiled "SoFi," a soft robotic fish that can independently swim alongside real fish in the ocean.
