A robot belonging to the US Navy last week sail to the area of the Joint Expeditionary Base near Norfolk, Virginia. The robot tasked with protecting US troops.
Such as the name of an animated movie studio Pixar production, the tuna fish-shaped robot is Silent Project Nemo. Has a length of 1.5 meters and weighing 45 kilograms, the robot tuna US Navy deliberately designed as a spy of the enemy.
Silent Project Nemo resembling real bluefin tuna was able to swim at a speed of 43 kilometers per hour, surreptitiously infiltrate the enemy territory to find weaknesses ships that could be exploited. It's very sophisticated and unbelievably modern.
In addition to protection, Project Silent Nemo also be used for mapping shallow water safe for warships of the US Navy. Silent Project Nemo is controlled through an application on a laptop device, so that the entire AL staff could see the movement of the robot. "I think this is a real tuna fish, amazing."
Reportedly, this is the first robot spy in the US Navy who previously often used the 'services' of trained marine animals. US Navy've 'hired' dolphins, sea lions and beluga whales.
At that time, the dolphin to be the most effective in the discovery of a sea mine. An example is a spy robot developed by the United States Navy named Silent Nemo.
This robot was designed to have the look that is quite similar to a shark. Appeared in a video shown that this robot can be controlled remotely with a fairly slow swimming speed.
