Robot simulates the shape of tuna species

With millions of years of evolution, natural animal species have actually developed survival mechanisms that are perfect for dealing with natural problems. Compared to the natural world, human civilization has only really developed in a short time, so despite being proud that people are those who possess the power that can conquer nature, they I'm really just those who steal the ideas of the great natural mother.

We can name a lot of human inventions that the original idea or design of these inventions is based on what's available in nature. We definitely cannot mention airplanes - a bird-based invention - or more recently like robots that mimic the shape of wild animals like Robot-Bat or Robot-Fish, the Japanese artificial butterflies or spy machine flies. Nature is not only a source of inspiration for artworks but we can also see the shadow of nature in science.

Most recently, researchers have completed the construction of a robot to spy on the water to simulate the shape of a robot in the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS). of tuna species named BIOSwimmer.

For animals that have the ability to train or animals that have familiar instincts for humans to use, such as dogs or bees, the construction of these types of robots simulates research, entertainment or love. These products are not practical. What will you do with a robot dog? Will they take them for a walk or be friends with them? These actions are completely possible with a real dog. However, you will not be able to train a tuna so that they will wear the camera and work as you like. BIOSwimmer is a mechanical robot that can be controlled according to the user's needs. It is built to mimic almost the shape of the tuna species.

This robot is just like a tuna, although it is designed and built in a factory, but this robot can still move very flexibly like real fish. The shells and fins of BIOSwimmer help them achieve perfect underwater motion. BIOSwimmer carries on a small processor that manages positioning, communication, as well as sensors mounted on it. Sensors make this robot feel the surrounding space and can operate automatically in special situations.

Before BIOSwimmer was born, there were many types of unmanned reconnaissance ships under the water. However, other reconnaissance vessels are oversized, not suitable for operating in small areas such as long reefs, shallow waters . In these cases, BIOSwimmer is a complete product. Good for experts to choose. BIOSwimmer is designed to study natural life under water instead of divers or previously heavy and entangled cameras. However, it is not excluded that the military can use this type of robot to spy on targets near the water surface or use it as underwater underwater cameras in border areas.

Researchers at the US National Security University are still in the process of finalizing this robot. The final stages of the BIOSwimmer completion will be carried out with the help of researchers from the System Development Team under the Boston Technical University in Waltham, Massachusetts.
