Piraeus Port To Be Patrolled By Robotic Fish

A robotic fish is apparently going to patrol the port of Piraeus with the aim of monitoring the quality of seawater. The Piraeus Port Agency is expected to release the robot in the water on the occasion of the World Environment Day, which is going to be celebrated on Thursday, June 5th, 2014.

The robotic fish has a length of 1,10 meters, weighs in at some 50 kg and is part of the European program SUPPORT.

According to the state news agency its sensors are continually going to measure various chemicals in the seawater. This system, which can work either automatically or manually, is then expected to transmit information and images to the Environmental Center of the Port of Piraeus.
