British Development of Water Pollution Monitoring Bionic Fish

Tokyo, June 10 (Reporter Ge Jin Chen Chao) According to the report of Asahi Shimbun, the British company BMT Group is currently developing a bionic method that can swim freely in the water, monitor and report water pollution problems such as leakage of crude oil. fish.

This "fish" is equipped with advanced sensing equipment and is equipped with artificial intelligence. They can use ultrasonic waves to communicate with each other to convey pollution information. Even more interesting is that if the power is insufficient, this bionic fish can automatically return to the charging platform for charging.

According to reports, this bionic fish is about 50 centimeters long. Because of its shape resembling that of squid, this bionic fish has a smaller radius and is more flexible than other torpedo-type detection devices. The researchers said that in the future this bionic fish can also be made 1.5 meters long, so that it has more features. In the past, when a crude oil leak occurred on a tanker or the like, because the ship was constantly moving, early detection was difficult and it was easy to cause a wide range of pollution. With this kind of bionic fish, following the tanker activities, it is possible to Time to find and report oil spills so that countermeasures can be taken as soon as possible.

At present, the price of this kind of bionic fish is about 12,000 pounds. If mass production is possible, the price may be further reduced. Researchers of the BMT Group are stepping up tests to put the bionic fish into the market as soon as possible.
