ALT Scientists in the UK have developed an innovative robotic fish designed to help reduce microplastic pollution in water. Named Gillbert, this small, bio-inspired robot mimics the movement of real fish and swims autonomously through rivers, lakes, and other water bodies. Using a special gill-like filter, it collects tiny plastic particles that are difficult to remove by traditional methods. This technology offers a promising new way to protect aquatic environments and support efforts to keep water clean and healthy Disclaimer: This image is AI-generated and used for illustrative purposes only. #RoboticFish #MicroplasticCleanup #CleanWaterTech #EcoInnovation #SaveOurOceans #PlasticPollution

Researchers at the University of Surrey have created “Gillbert”, a 3D‑printed robot fish about the size of a salmon, designed to swim through waterways and capture microplastics using gill-like filters. The microplastics it collects are compressed into a chamber and used to power its movements—making it one of the world’s first self-sustaining cleanup robots. It’s safe for marine life and has already undergone lake trials in the U.K., showing promise for future deployments in conservation zones and port areas.
