Researchers in Boston have developed a robotic sea turtle that, in 2026 testing, avoided obstacles 91% of the time while simultaneously tracking real fish in the water. The results point toward advances in agile underwater robotics and autonomous marine monitoring, with the robot combining smooth swimming motions with reliable navigation in cluttered aquatic environments shared with living marine animals.
Why now: The strong obstacle-avoidance performance and live fish tracking demonstrate a notable leap in bio-inspired underwater robotics.
