Latest turtle robot capable of performing more complicated
tasks such as surveillance and energy harvesting, and operates on a self-charge
mode
NUS Engineering researchers are closer to creating
underwater robotic creatures with a brain of their own – besides behaving like
the real thing. In the near future, it would not be too tall an order for the
team to produce a swarm of autonomous tiny robotic sea turtles and fishes for
example, to perform hazardous missions such as detecting nuclear wastes
underwater or other tasks too dangerous for humans.
