A team of researchers at the New York Polytechnic Institute has just shown that a robot that simulates a fish can drive a fish trail. Researchers have for years been studying the practice of fish that drive in nature and have now created a biomimetic robot that correctly mimics the behavior of the guide fish.
The main objective of the research is to help sardines distance themselves from the natural disasters they have suffered. Let's see if this is the case. In fact, other objectives come to mind, among them, the ability to drive fish would allow us to take them to fishing nets. All research can have a good and dark side, as this example shows.
