Manufacture of deep-sea robots based on discharging fish

Research on the motions of the "assassins" of the Amazon region could support the creation of deep-sea exploration robots for corvette exploration missions, oil rig repair or ship surveys. wrecked

Underwater equipment is bulky and lacks the flexibility to handle complex operations in deep sea conditions.

In a groundbreaking move, the blackfish , also known as feathered fish , resides in the Amazon basin, which has inspired the US team, promising to produce robots. new generation ocean.

Lead researcher Malcolm MacIver of Northwestern University says the nighttime hunting behavior of black-spotted macaws is the result of the perfect combination of sensory and motor systems, combined with The unique ability to generate electricity on the fish.

Based on the results of the Amazon study, experts decided to use power sensing technology and silk-screen structure in black-spotted bass to create a device that could move in a dark environment. deep ocean.

According to Physorg, MacIver and his colleagues have built around a dozen different robots based on black spooks.
