Robotic Fish Could Help Monitor Water Conditions, Pollutants.
The Lansing (MI) State Journal (12/26, Bansil) reported on NEMO (Navigating EAP-Controlled Module with onboard Resources), a robotic fish developed by Michigan State University researchers "to monitor water temperature, oxygen levels, invasive populations and pollutants." The device could help give researchers a more "accurate picture of what's going on underwater," and thereby "aid in the early identification of problems like an expanding invasive species population or other causes of declining native species." Xiaobo Tan, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, "said he believes this technology should be affordable enough that it will have multiple applications."
