Robotic fish detects Sea Pollution
BMT Group together with the Shoal Consortium EU-group, are dedicated to developing these robotic fish to monitor pollution in harbors and other areas. Image credit Shoal Consortium
“The observation of real fish shows that this kind of propulsion is more noiseless, effective, and manoeuvrable than propeller-based propulsion, which has inspired the researchers to build robotic fish that can interact with the aquatic environment efficiently.”

Fish have surprising swimming ability after millions years evolution and the imitate of this movement provides the main energy of robotic fish.
The major applications of robotic fish are in the marine fields to detect leakage of oil pipelines, monitoring water quality, and in military field for mine countermeasures and more.

Such clever and beautiful work; where science meets art.
It is indeed art the protection of our planet
