While most of us may just think of krill as baleen whale food, the tiny crustaceans are also very adept swimmers … enough so that scientists have now developed a krill-inspired robotic platform in ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Picture a network of interconnected, autonomous robots working together in a coordinated dance to navigate the pitch-black surroundings of the ocean while ...

Imagine looking at the world through the stalked compound eyes of krill in the Southern Ocean. All of a sudden, a penguin appears like a voracious giant, streamlined like a torpedo, chasing and ...

This tiny robotic leg could help scientists to study underwater creatures and explore hard to reach parts of the ocean! Professor Monica Martinez Wilhelmus and her team of researchers at Brown ...

A robotic leg moving through water creates similar patterns to the motion of krill as they swim, and could be used to study the role these animals play in their marine environment. Krill are small ...

New research finds that Arctic krill have a biological response to changes in light. When it is lightest in the Arctic polar night, usually around the middle of the day known as midday twilight, the ...
