Recently, the BMT group has invented a device that is based upon the hydro-dynamic properties and shape of a fish so that it can travel freely in water. This 1.5 meter long robo-fish has an array of micro-sensors that can detect even minute levels of pollution and then, it sends the records back to the shore. Thus, it provides a constant track of pollution level in a vast area of the ocean while most harbors only take water sample, once a month. It relays the information about the contamination, constantly, back to the shore for real time updates.
