Samara University has developed a perch-shaped underwater robot. This robot, approximately 1 meter long, is capable of assisting in environmental monitoring and search operations. It mimics the movements of a fish using its caudal fin and has technical vision and artificial intelligence for navigation and object detection.
“Perch”, which looks like a real sea bass when viewed from the outside, has high maneuverability and speed due to its fish-like shape. Its appearance also helps it hide underwater. The robot can operate at depths of up to 5 meters and find designated targets autonomously.
This underwater robot, developed using artificial intelligence and neural networks, has the potential to perform various tasks such as environmental monitoring, coastal patrol, and participation in search and rescue operations. The robot has successfully passed its first tests in the pool, and researchers hope for its practical use in the future.
