ETH Zurich students create biomimetic robotic fish "Eve" to collect eDNA samples for ocean research.

Engineering students at ETH Zurich have created a biomimetic robotic fish named "Eve", which collects environmental DNA (eDNA) samples while swimming. This technology could revolutionize ocean research by providing detailed information on aquatic habitats, threatened by climate change, overfishing, and other human activities. The students aim to create a reliable tool for biologists, with plans to scale up their technology for wider use in ocean research.
