Here is another robot fish that looks like a real fish and swims just like one of them. This robot fish appears like a red snapper fish with its shiny red scale. This red snapper robot fish was built by engineers at the University of Kitakyushu that was led by professor Ikuo Yamamoto. Their red snapper robot fish was developed to explore underwater area. This red snapper robot fish named “Tai-robot-kun” with realistic body made of silicone cover…

Lifelike Pollution Detecting Robot Fish
This robot looks like fish and swims like fish. This revolutionary lifelike pollution detecting robot fish is developed by UK scientists. This robot was a special designed robot applied for sea pollution measuring system. The lifelike pollution detecting robot fish equipped with sensors used to detect and measure pollution during its operation. The little chemical sensors placed on the robot are able of detecting hazard materials like chemical s…
The Most Real Robotic Fish-Like
Take a look at the fish robotic video below. The robotic fish-like is like a real fish with its fins move like a real fish. This movement is mimicking the real motion of fish when they swim, very realistic. This fish robot called sea bream robot developed in Japan at Yamamoto Laboratory. This real-like fish robot uses battery that powered motors inside to create a real like moving fish. [youtube IQZpO5_60zQ] (ketok newsblog)…
Festo Remote Controlled Pneumatically Driven Fish Airacuda
This Festo product is called Airacuda, comes from the natural model of design. This fish moves smoothly in water, moves without noise just like a real fish. The electronics and pneumatics are the hidden system that moves the fish from inside. Muscles used to steer the fish in water. The technology used in this fish called Fin Ray Effect. This technology allows the fish move with swinging power resulted from the structure of the fish. With flui…
Hydrogen-Powered Robot Fish Swims For Three Days
oreover, this robot was a programmable robot fish said the team. The prototype design of this robot could be seen on the video provided bellow this article. Before designed this hydrogen-powered robot they had worked on other robots that use lithium polymer battery and motor as the power supply. On the video bellow the first fish robot was powered with lithium polymer battery. This robot was given “sinker device” that enables the robot to rise an…
Detect Water Sea Pollution Using Fish Robotics
Essex scientists develop more easy, effective and efficient way to monitoring water pollution, especially sea water in ports. The team will develop autonomous fish equipped with chemical sensors, which will find pollutants and create a real-time 3D map of the port, showing what chemicals are present and where. This robofish project called as SHOAL project. SHOAL will use advanced swarm intelligence techniques to control and coordinate a schoo…
Brand New Robotic Solutions For Fish Portioning
The RobotFeeder is one of many solutions that offered by Valka ehf in order to feed fish product and portioning them. This automatic fish processing solution is fully automatic and ready to be installed on the production plants. The prototype of this machine was for the first time introduced in Brussels, Belgium, at Seafood Processing Europe in April 2009. The RobotFeeder actually was research that sponsored by the Iceland Ministry of Fisheries….
2,000 Robots Fought In Afghanistan
As US troops fought a combat in Afghanistan there were over 100,000 soldiers joint the war. What did we know about this war was a man-to-man battle in a gun shot with the help of bunch of high-tech equipment like tank, Husky vehicle, bomber plane, etc. But there was another fact who said there is about 2,000 robots joint the war alongside the human troops in Afghanistan. Most of the robots used there were the life saving ground robots. These rob…
Autonomous Robots Zoo In Portugal
Before this, we only know that zoo only contains artificial habitat and real animals, but now as Leonel Moura did something remarkable, we can see robots swarming in the autonomous robots zoo. The Robotarium X is an art installation made by Leonel Moura in Jardim Central Zoo Alverca, Portugal, or autonomous robots zoo. Leonel Moura is an artist who has been dealing with autonomous robots since 2003. At Robotarium X, he constructed the first aut…
Grey Walter’s Tortoise Robots Elmer And Elsie
Grey Walter was a famous inventor after he built his tortoise robot Elmer (Electro Mechanical Robots) and Elsie (Light Sensitive). These robot also well known as Machina Speculatrix, while the tortoise name came after people noticing their slow movement and shape like turtle. Walter’s robots were built between 1948 Easter and 1949 Christmas. These robots were built with similar components but different in motors and shells. What actually made th…
Seeking Harmony Personal Mobility “i-unit” by Toyota
Toyota has created the mobility system that seeks the harmony between human with society and of course the earth. This system is hoped to give the individual enjoyment of movement. This mobility system inspired by leaf, leaf uses the sun energy in transforming energy. This i-unit has some features like stable handling in low speed among people, easy to be operated both in low or high speed
Robot Accessories Mini Linear Stage
This is the robot accessories use for the under constructed industrial robot. The accessories is ideal for small part pick and place operations. This accessory is small, quick, and responsive. Fit for the addition to the robot you are trying to build. The mini linear is precise as the need toward the construction. Mini linear stage pickup labels, slides, small vials, and lids.
BEAR Robot The Powerful Heavy Lifting Robot
BEAR robot is a humanoid robot. This robot able to lift things up to 500lbs.

Underwater Robot Finds Black Box OF Air France In Atlantic
There are many success stories that come from underwater robot around the globe. Most of them are story about how underwater robots help human to do things that human could do. Like underwater robot that found unexplored reefs habitats in the deep water of Great Barriers in Australia or the famous underwater robot that help people in stopping the oil leak in Gulf of Mexico. Well this story is about underwater robot that found the black box of the Air France jet that sank in Atlantic. The Air France with flight number 447 went down on route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. This robot worked thousands of feet to pull out of black box from the bottom of the ocean from the crashed plane that killed 228 people.
Antarctic Ice Shelf And Ice-Covered Ocean Underwater Robot Exploration
From October 17 through November 12 of 2010 researches from the University of British Colombia are doing an underwater robot exploration in Antarctic ice shelf and ice-covered ocean. This research is done in studying the effects of ice shelves on the mixing of sea water. This research will result in data collection for the Antarctica 2010 Glacier Tongues and Ocean Mixing Research Project. This project investigator is Craig Stevens at the New Zealand National Institute for Water and Atmospheric Research.
