Science News Video: Swarms of robotic fish can synchronize their swimming, for the first time

Related Videos On: Swarms of robotic fish can synchronize their swimming, for the first time

Swimming in sync is one of the most important lessons a school of fish can learn: The coordination helps them find food—and evade predators. But when scientists try to train robots to match this stunning natural feat, most fall short. Now, researchers have developed a fleet of seven underwater “fishbots” that can swim circles—without crashing into one another. Most robot swarms coordinate their movements via a centralized computer that tells them where to go, in the form of GPS coordinates. But researchers wanted the robots to control their own movements. Inspired by two of the ways fish sense their neighbors—bioluminescence and vision—researchers outfitted fish-shaped underwater robots with two wide-angle cameras, one in each “eye,” and bright blue LED lights. They developed a suite of algorithms hard-wired into the fish to coordinate collective behaviors—from swimming in a circle to scattering into the far reaches of their tank. After roughly a year of testing, the fishbots successfully performed multiple movements, and could transition between behaviors seamlessly (see video, above). This is one of the first underwater swarms that can coordinate behavior without a centralized computer, researchers report this week in Science Robotics. But before they head out to the open ocean, scientists are going to give them another way to recognize each other: striped schooling marks. Read the research: https://scim.ag/35IapsV

Related Videos On: Snippet: Voracious antlions engineer deadly sand traps

You’d never know it by looking at the dragonfly-like adult antlion, but its wingless larvae—fingernail-size eating machines with huge, poison-filled jaws—build deadly sand traps to capture tiny insects, including ants. Now, scientists know precisely how they do it: As the hapless prey falls into its pit, an antlion at the bottom uses its head to fling a blizzard of sand grains up the funnel-shaped slope, creating a mini landslide that pulls the unfortunate insect to its doom. The pits, scientists say, are feats of engineering—and physics. Read more: https://scim.ag/38I2Inm Credit: (footage) Sebastian Büsse and Thies H.

Science News Video: Low-cost interventions help combat the ‘psychological poverty trap'

Related Videos On: Low-cost interventions help combat the ‘psychological poverty trap'

People who struggle to support their basic needs—and those of their families—might feel a sense of fear and hopelessness. For some, that emotional distress results in mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression, which leave them vulnerable to even greater financial struggles. Psychologists and economists have sought to understand the mechanisms behind these vicious cycles, or “psychological poverty traps,” as they’re called in a recent review in Science. The paper’s authors examined how government welfare programs and changes in climate impacted the prevalence of depression and suicide, especially in developing countries, such as Indonesia. They also delved into randomized, controlled trials of low-cost mental health interventions in Pakistan and India, and how they affected people’s employment and spending decisions.

Volta’s electric eels can gather in groups, working together to corral smaller fish in shallower waters, a new study finds. Then, groups of about 10 eels attack in unison, shocking the fish out of the water and into a stupor so that they can easily be eaten.

Related Videos On: Rats with killer hair are secretly social | Science News

The unusual crested rats of East Africa are not the feisty loners that scientist expected. The rats are best known for chewing up bark or other parts of a poisonous tree and dribbling the toxic saliva onto their fur. Any would-be predator foolish enough to take a bite gets a potentially deadly mouthful of detachable fluff that can induce a heart attack. But the rats with these dangerous hairdos have a snuggly domestic side. Cameras reveal they stick close to a mate and snuggle up to sleep in a mutual cloud of fluff.

Footage of a brown tree snake, caught with an infrared camera at night, reveals the unique way that this species climbs: The snake lassos itself around a pole and wriggles the loop of its tail to propel itself upward. The technique allows the reptile to shimmy up structures that would otherwise be too wide to climb.
