Something Fishy
New to the London Aquarium: a robotic carp
Swimming alongside its living counterparts at the London Aquarium, the new
20-inch-long "robo-carp" uses artificial intelligence and an infared
sensor inside its mouth to detect and avoid obstacles. Like real fish, it
generates forward thrust by undulating its tail. Engineered by scientists at the
University of Essex in England, the battered-operated fish serves as a
decorative prototype for future autonomous underwater vehicles that will be
tasked with arduous missions, such as sniffing out underwater and leaky oil
pipes.
