The carp robot can swim like a real fish

A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has developed a carp robot.

This is the first robotic fish in Asia that can dive, float, use fins like real fish. In addition, this robot is also programmed to perform several functions.

Unlike other traditional underwater devices, Singapore's robots have the flexibility, form and size of real fish, allowing it to reach tight spaces with ease.

According to the research team, the new equipment is particularly useful for conducting underwater archaeological excavations where divers or mechanics find it difficult to access.

Fish robots can also be used in military operations or leak detection pipes, which are too dangerous for humans.

Most fish robots today can only perform two-dimensional movements, which means they can not be dived or restricted due to swimming on the water.

Although carp robots have so far not been tested in actual marine environments, the team hopes to be able to make even smaller and more realistic robots.

"We plan to equip it with more sensors, such as GPS and a video camera, to improve self-propelled 3-D motion," said Fan Lupeng, a research fellow . To test your device with more difficult tasks like target detection. "
