Researchers at the University of Surrey have developed a robotic fish that can consume plastic waste while generating its own energy. The team created the device, called the robo-fish, to tackle the rising problem of microplastic pollution in oceans, rivers, and lakes. Unlike most machines, the robot does not rely on batteries. Instead, it uses
