London (Reuters)-a robot "fish", by European scientists to improve pollution from laboratory monitoring development moved to the sea in northern Spain on Tuesday in the port of flood and test.
Developers hope the new technology, so as to reduce the amount of time spent in a few weeks to seconds detection pollutants, is to sell the port authority, the company, aquarium and water quality monitoring are interested in.
It may also have split into cleaning up oil leakage, underwater safety, divers monitoring or maritime search and rescue, they said.
Fish, this is long, 1.5 m (5 ft), now sells for 20000 pounds ($31600), aims to like the real fish swimming with sensors and picked up the pipeline leak from ships or contaminants.
They independent swimming, and each other, coordinate and reading AnZhan transmission to a kilometers away.
"Pack fish chemical sensors allow real-time, in-situ analysis, not the sampling method, and send the basic laboratory, cif Luke said:" spell check, who lead the project scientist in British advisers BMT group.
Fish can avoid obstacles, communicate the map, where they are, and know how to return to base, its eight hours of battery life is running out, and their decision makers said.
After test of this week, the team will look at the modification, need to be transferred to the commercial production of fish, they want to reduce the cost of each unit.
Development project by the European Union and the part of the funds of the professional knowledge to Essex university and British strathclyde university, Irish ting del national institute and thales Safare unit of Europe's largest defence electronic group, thales, and this is responsible for communication technology.
