Meet the robot fish that collects DNA from the bottom of the ocean

Some 400 kilometers from the nearest sea, engineering students at ETH Zurich in Switzerland are hard at work on cutting-edge robots that could change the way the world's oceans are studied.

Eve, the robotic fish, swings her silicone tail from side to side, powered by pumps hidden inside, as she glides smoothly through the cold waters of Lake Zurich, where she is being tested by Surf-eDNA. This group of students has spent the last two years building a school of soft robotic fish, of which Eve is the latest.
