After the pollution sniffing fish, MIT did a school of robotic fish to let the mechanical geniuses take to the aquatic world. Inspirations spread like wide jungle fire, I don’t mean to doubt the Korean brilliance anyway – but it’s a group of Korean Scientists that have developed a robotic fish this time around. Under the able leadership of Dr. Ryuh Young-sun, the team from Korea Institute of Industrial Technology has this 42 cm-long, 1.32kg fish with robotic brilliance placed in an aquarium at BEXCO. Dubbed the “Ichthys,” Greek for fish, the robot equipped with a GPS to find location and recharging area, can swim in any direction for four hours on one charge, in depths up to 100m.
