Fish robot guide could help fish

The other day I saw the news about the oil spill in the Gulf region, and I heard that the pelican was registered. Pelican is obviously went into the spill to catch a fish, but a team has to clean it.

My first reaction was, “Man, why the pelican in contaminated waters of oil to the fish?” Yes, there are more fish in the sea, but again this is not the Pelican's fault that we are polluting the waters of the normal fishing.

Hopefully we are not sure that it is less polluted waters, but in this moment the research is underway, lead to the fish in these areas infected. Professor Maurizio Porfiri of the Polytechnic University of New York operates the robot fish, capable of a whole school of fish can lead to pollution, infected or otherwise dangerous waters can.

Currently, this fish to make a straight line, but if it is ultimately probably a group of fish, then it could be applied to a robotic bird. Then we can make the birds away from polluted areas.

Perhaps teachers should check the specific mechanism, we reported a week ago. It looks almost like the Robo-fish is a great success!
