Biomimetic 'Fish Robot' Tests Successfully in Valencia Port
A groundbreaking 'fish robot' has been tested in the port of Castillo, Valencia, marking a significant step in marine data collection and infrastructure innovation. The device, developed by CIRTESU at Jaume I University, mimics real fish swimming and is equipped with advanced technology for low visibility and damage detection.
The biomimetic fins of the robot make it more stable and efficient than traditional automation systems. This innovation was funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 program. The device has been praised for its potential in inspecting aquaculture nets and monitoring structures, enhancing safety in marine environments.
The port of Castillo, under the leadership of President Rubén Ibáñez, has emerged as a hub for innovation and sustainable infrastructure. The port signed an agreement with Jaume I University in July 2024 to facilitate such research. The 'fish robot' has already received recognition, being named the best development in marine automation at the Spanish Automation Committee conference.
CIRTESU researcher Raúl Marina emphasizes the importance of phased testing, from lab to real environment, for successful implementation. The team reports positive progress from the experiment, although final results have not yet been made public.
The 'fish robot' from CIRTESU at Jaume I University, with its biomimetic fins and advanced technology, shows great promise in marine data collection and safety enhancement. The successful testing in the port of Castillo, supported by the European Union, paves the way for further innovations in marine automation and infrastructure.
