Sea turtles

Scientists have created many versions of marine mammals such as sea cows, tuna, jellyfish ... Recently, the pair of prey that has helped the sea turtles become very flexible has become a subject of research. a team of scientists at the ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology), from there to create a robot called the naro-tartaruga.

These turtles have a speed of 2 meters per second, which is very flexible in movement and can function as a 3-D environment thanks to modern actuators. The natural structure of sea turtles is also exploited, for example, under tortoise shell instead of viscera, replaced by a series of electronic devices and sensors. As a result, turtles will control the environment through pressure, temperature, water flow to encode and transfer to the control unit.

The naro-tartaruga is very similar to the one-meter-long, 75 -pound turtle, using the BlueFox vision system, i7 dual-core processor and 48 lithium-polymer battery power. Modules from the beginning to the end of the robot operate synchronously to help navigate object dynamically but save energy.

According to Gizmag magazine, sea turtles have been developed since 2010, but this year they are really complete.
