According to the British “Daily Mail” reported that British researchers at the University of Essex, said they recently prepared to put in specially designed Thames ROBOFISH for detection of pollutants in the water and the 3D rendering water pollution Fig. Shape of this machine fish carp, was equipped with detection sensors, can be found a variety of water pollutants, such as shipping or oil leakage, such as other chemicals.

British researchers at the University of Essex, said that in order to find new ways of monitoring water pollution, the EU-funded 2.5 million pounds for a variety of research and design. This will put the machine at the Thames fish scientists are completely designed in accordance with the principles of bionics, body length 50 cm, 15 cm high, 12 centimeters wide. Who fish these machines will be installed sensors, can automatically monitoring a variety of pollutants in the river, and the use of GPS devices will be timely information to researchers.

Put in all the machines in the Thames fish have the ability to work together, even in the absence of control of the scientists, they are also in accordance with the procedures previously set collaboration. When a robot fish, “sniff out” a piece of harmful substances in the waters, they are on the adoption of wi-fi wireless connection to exchange data with each other, then a timely manner to the researchers and environmental protection department issued a warning.

This machine fish scientists are designed and manufactured in accordance with the principle of bionics, and they really like swimming with the carp, the body down in the engine driven swing back, and tail fins and swimming in order to change their direction, their swimming speed is expected to reach half a meter per second. This machine will advance the fish at 18 months to really go the water pollution detection, monitoring of the first would go to the port of large ships and the disclosure of emissions, is also possible to check the pollution of the River Thames.

By then, they will be equipped with different sensors to detect different pollutants, scientists use the data after the mapping of water pollution in real-time 3D maps, so that the best way to take the environmental protection department to remove the pollutants here. Scientists said they would charge one of these machines will be able to fish continued to swim in the water for 24 hours.

University of Washington in the United States after the researchers have successfully developed three machines fish, swimming in the water can communicate with each other. The machine fish, just like real fish, the swim fin to rely on. Machines can also chase prey fish, such as drift or fish. The rear of the machine fish have two parallel to the surface, with the rotation, machinery and fish can float and dive. Have a vertical tail fin of, used to ensure a smooth.

The only power the machine from the fish’s tail. This piece of tail, protruding from the rear of a robot arm Driven. Machines are imitation fish salmon action. Salmon in the water of the action appears to be simple, in fact, required the use of specialized scientists study the trajectory of bionics come to the corresponding algorithm, good command tail mechanical exercise, try to do smooth.

British researchers at the University of Essex, “said the pollution in the River Thames are deteriorating, if it can not determine the direction of pollutants in river water, leakage of pollutants over time will undoubtedly become more serious. We hope that through to do so (the machine running the fish) can be discharged to the sea to prevent potentially dangerous material. “If the success of the experiment, scientists hope that the robot fish to be used around the world in order to prevent the spread of pollution.
