By contrast, a plankton net or a water sampler ... but we train a model on data we collect in the field. The robot makes ...

Yet science knows little about the complex dynamics of plankton on ocean-wide scales. So researchers are asking the machines for help, developing clever robots that use AI to examine and classify ...

They've designed a swarm of underwater robots that can help scientists study the most abundant life form in the ocean (and the foundation of all aquatic life), the humble plankton. The robots are ...

Scientists created a soft robot filled with algae that sparkles, and they plan to use it to explore the dark depths of the ocean. The bioluminescent plankton, called a dinoflagellate, glows bright ...

They swim by flapping their fins like enormous wings, and their gills filter for plankton with the utmost precision. These creatures have now inspired human innovations that take soft robots and ...

“These patches might work like planktonic singles bars,” said Peter Franks, who worked with the robots. His theory is that these patches aid the plankton in feeding, reproduction and ...

Spongebob SquarePants: Plankton’s Robotic Revenge may be the least entertaining piece of media the little yellow sponge has ever starred in. Despite his success on screens big and small, the ...
