Meet the ocean’s newest high-tech guardian: a 5-meter-long robotic whale shark developed by Shenyang Aerospace Xinguang Group! 🦈 This bionic marvel, inspired by space tech and marine biology, is making waves with its lifelike swimming, 20-meter dives, and eco-friendly design. 🚀
Powered by BeiDou positioning and optical sensors, it can map underwater terrain, monitor water quality, and dodge obstacles like a pro. 'It’s like giving the whale shark a supercharged brain,' says engineer Fang Xuelin. 🧠💡
Unlike propeller-driven bots, its sleek, enclosed build avoids harming marine life—a win for sustainability! 🌱 The team’s also rolling out robotic dolphins and porpoises, proving innovation isn’t just for astronauts anymore. 🌏✨
With speeds up to 0.7 m/s and multi-joint agility, this robo-shark is set to revolutionize underwater research. Who said robots can’t be fish-tastic? 🦾🌊
