If we want more manoeuvrable and stable miniature aquatic robots we need to understand the hovering behaviour of fish. Dr Otar Akanyeti and his collaborators investigated the influence of fish body size and shape on the energy needed to hover.

🐟 Fish staying still in water are using considerably more energy than first thought, new research has found.
