Two sleek, metallic robotic fish are swimming their way into the future at the National Innovation Center for Digital Fishery in Beijing. These technological marvels are set to transform traditional fish farming into a high-tech, efficient operation.
Associate professor Liu Jincun from China Agricultural University (CAU) introduced the robotic tuna and robotic dolphin, each designed with unique swimming characteristics. "They may move differently, but their core purpose is the same – to assist in fish farming," Liu explained.
Team member Wei Yaoguang, who brings over 20 years of experience, highlighted the challenges fishermen once faced. In the past, divers spent three to four days inspecting a 400-meter-diameter net cage, a process that was not only time-consuming but also costly. With AI precision, these robotic fish are streamlining this labor-intensive task, reducing both the effort and expenses involved. ⏱️🤖
This breakthrough vividly demonstrates how cutting-edge technology is merging with traditional practices to create a sustainable future in aquaculture. Stay tuned as these innovations continue to make waves in the industry, reimagining the way we think about food production. 🚀🐟
