Robotic Fish

clipped from news.sky.com Robotic Fish To Fight Pollution In Sea Scientists have designed a robotic fish capable of detecting pollution in water. The project is part of a three-year partnership between engineering consultancy firm BMT Group and Essex University. clipped from www.youtube.com G8 Robotic Fish clipped from www.bmt.org BMT Group Limited Robotic fish: the latest weapon in the fight against water pollution The life-like creatures, which will mimic the undulating movement of real fish, will be equipped with tiny chemical sensors to find the source of potentially hazardous pollutants in the water, such as leaks from vessels in the port or underwater pipelines. Thanks to Wi-Fi technology, they will then be able to transmit the information to the port's control centre via a "charging hub" where the fish can charge their batteries. This will enable the authorities to map in real time the source and scale of the pollution (see attached graphic).
