Aquaai, a technology company, has developed a method to provide data about waterways and control pollution, which has caused the ecosystem to no longer be able to rebalance itself. One of the company's founders, Simeon Pieterkosky, noted that the aim of deploying fish-like robots to swim in waterways is to bridge this information gap by using these robots to collect data from underwater environments. He revealed that they are battery-operated and designed to look and swim like fish, with a body and tail moving side to side while navigating through water.
He pointed out that their skin is made of orange, white, and black "neoprene," and they are about 1.3 meters long and weigh 30 kilograms. They can be equipped with cameras and sensors to measure oxygen levels, salinity, and pH. He emphasized the importance of the devices being able to blend into natural habitats, swim among other organisms without disturbing them, and maneuver around obstacles smoothly.
However, Aquaai still has to overcome several challenges before the robots it created can roam the waterways around the world. Pieterkosky remarked, "Investors really need to wake up... it’s really about a last-ditch effort to save the thing that keeps humanity alive."
