This robotic fish collects DNA in the ocean
Meet Eve, the robotic fish making waves in ocean research.
Engineering students at ETH Zurich in Switzerland are creating innovative robots that could transform ocean research. One of their designs, “Eve,” is a robotic fish that swims through water with minimal disruption to marine ecosystems.
Eve features a silicone tail powered by internal pumps that enable it to swim effortlessly like a real fish. According to the student team, the robot’s biomimetic design helps it not scare fish or other marine life.
Equipped with a camera, sonar for obstacle avoidance, and a filter for collecting environmental DNA (eDNA), Eve can help scientists identify aquatic species and provide valuable insights into ocean life.
