Recently, the American media said that in less than half a century, Asian carp evolved from an unknown American waters to some of the waters of the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers, accounting for 90% of the total number of organisms. In this regard, the food goods from China have expressed: eat and eat! Salmon can be eaten in a wayward manner. However, a lionfish that invades the coast of Florida may not be as simple as eating.
At present, the lionfish that invaded Florida looted a large number of foods that other animals depend on, which greatly jeopardized the ecological balance in the sea areas including the Caribbean and Bermuda. In addition, their presence is also a deadly blow to coral reefs. It is well-known that coral reefs depend on predation of parrot fish and other herbivore marine life, and the proliferation of lionfish has led to insufficient supply of food for coral reefs; at the same time, after the ecological imbalance of coral reefs, algae grows too strong and blocks coral reefs and sponges. The sun needed to grow is such a vicious cycle.
In order to solve this problem, an organization called the Bermuda Lionfish Special Task Force was established. They wanted to raise public awareness of the seriousness of the Lionfish invasion, specifically through carrying out fishing tournaments. The various activities reduce the total amount of lionfish. Unfortunately, more porridge and more porridge - lionfish is too much. So, iRobot's CEO Colin Angle couldn't stand still. He wanted to create a submersible robot that can kill lion fish and learn independently. Under his leadership, the Robots in Service of the Environment (RISE) soon became a force - a non-profit organization made up of volunteer scientists and engineers.
They designed a total of two unmanned remote-controlled submersible robots, one of which has a pair of telescopic arms. "When the detector detects the presence of lionfish, it can be executed immediately," explains John Rizzi, executive director of RISE. Afterwards, the lionfish that was electrocuted were eaten.
Here, Xiao Bian can not help but think of a robot that can be tracked and captured by scientists at the University of Zurich. It is understood that this robot can accurately find, track and hunt the target. Tobi Delbruck , head of the R&D team, said: "In the future, your luggage cart may follow you. Of course, then, this program will be upgraded from the original 'predator-prey' relationship to 'mother-child' The relationship, but the basic principle of its operation will not change." In addition, this robot also installed a high-pixel camera for monitoring the brightness changes, real-time transmission of the picture. After the data returned is systematically processed, the robot can more easily track similar targets. It can be seen that in the future, robots with tracking and catching capabilities will play an important role in people's daily lives.
Although the current design concept of RISE is still in its infancy, with the increasing number of lionfish, everyone is eager to witness the birth of this robot as soon as possible—especially at the beginning of June, the Tech Times reported that Lionfish has threatened the Mediterranean ecosystem. After balance. At the same time, some people think that the killing of lionfish violates ethics to a certain extent, and some people insist that the lionfish indeed poses an enormous threat to the ecological environment in many places. "If from this perspective, the experts agreed that the lionfish should be killed. We just think that the process of killing should be more humane," said DJ Schbert, wildlife aviologist from the Animal Welfare Association.
In addition, RISE wants to make sure that the robot will not scare them before they attack the lionfish. Currently, they have tested the performance of robots in an aquarium. The results show that the stings on the lionfish can help them scare off other predators, so they will not rush at the time when foreign bodies approach. Swallowing - This means that robots can electrocute the lion fish without frightening them.
