This bionic marvel, which has seven actuated joints, can swim, turn, float, and dive with amazing accuracy. It can dive to a depth of 20 meters and reach speeds of up to 0.7 meters per second. The multi-joint bionic propulsion, wireless remote control, and programmed swimming are just a few of the sophisticated features of the robotic whale shark. Its highly developed brain—basically a computer—processes information from several sensors to navigate challenging underwater conditions and stay clear of obstacles. Optical cameras, several sensors, sonar technology, and BeiDou location systems allow the robot to carry out duties including mapping underwater terrain and monitoring water quality.
