<br /><br />
NDTV: Inspired by the speedy tuna capable of swimming tirelessly in the oceans, the US Department of Homeland Security will introduce a fish-like robot for underwater patrols.</p>
<p>The ‘BIOSwimmer’ robot sports features like the real-life fish with replicated fins and a flexible tail to pull off quick maneuvers.</p>
<div><img alt="Charlie the Tuna" width="257" height="258" src="http://www.roboticsbusinessreview.com/images/article/justice-charlietuna-splsh.jpg" /></div>
<p>US Homeland Security funded the robot made by Boston Engineering, Waltham, MA with an eye toward missions such as exploring the flooded areas of ships, inspecting oil tankers or patrolling US harbors to watch out for suspicious activity. </p>
<p>“It’s called ‘biomimetics’. We’re using nature as a basis for design and engineering a system that works exceedingly well,” said David Taylor, program manager for the BIOSwimmer at the US Department of Homeland Security.</p>
<p>The robot, which is based on the tuna’s sleek, flexible shape, would be able to squeeze into tight spaces such as the flooded bilges and tanks of ship interiors and fit in well with surrounding marine life.</p>
<p>Would-be terrorists hoping to sneak weapons and other contraband through U.S. ports on and in the hulls of ships may be thwarted by this robotic tuna fish.<br />
<br />The BIOSwimmer robofish is able to overcome so-called position-keeping problems experienced by traditional underwater robots that are powered by vertical and horizontal thrusters, according to Taylor. </p>
<p>The robot can sit in the water and go through a swimming motion like a fish and give you a better position-keeping capability. Such steadiness could be important, for example, while the robot uses an array of sensors to inspect grated cavities in ship hulls called sea chests where contraband could be stashed.</p>
<div><img alt="BIOSwimmer" width="300" height="169" src="http://www.roboticsbusinessreview.com/images/article/wpid-BIOSwimmer-robot-mimics-the-humble-tuna-fish.jpg" /></div>
<p>Control is via a tether attached to a laptop computer. The tether is long enough to inspect ship hulls more than 500 feet in length, Taylor noted.</p>
<p>The robot can also operate autonomously, he added, but when it is not hooked to the tether “sending data up through the water column is somewhat challenging.” To get around that, the robot would have to be periodically brought back to the surface for data downloading, which limits real-time inspection capabilities.</p>
<p>The Department of Homeland Security is in discussions with an undisclosed custom’s port to begin testing a prototype of the robot within a year.</p></div></div></blockquote>

<p>We would like to invite Robotics Society of Singapore to the Infocomm Experience Centre (iExperience), during imbX, to explore the possibilities of the Next Generation Nationwide Broadband Network (Next Gen NBN). </p>
<p>iExperience is the first permanent infocomm showcase set up by IDA to present the possibilities and benefits of Next Generation National Broadband Network (Next Gen NBN) and the services. Divided into 4 zones, members can experience and explore how infocomm can transform the way they live, work, learn and interact. They also can learn about next gen infocomm through the various hands-on exhibits. iExperience presents a range of functional yet fun services and applications for businesses, consumers, Government and overseas visitors:</p>
<p>i.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Live</p>
<p>Visitors can experience exhibits including companion device application, remote health monitoring and rehabilitation, and live interaction through Skype on various devices. The home-based work showcase demonstrates how working from home can be made easier with high speed connectivity, unified communications and cloud-based services. Visitors can also try how keeping in touch with friends or family in hospital can be made more convenient through next gen services. In addition to interacting within iExperience, visitors can also chat with patrons outside iExperience at Red Mango, a yogurt outlet across iExperience via Skype on TV.&nbsp; </p>
<p>ii.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Work </p>
<p>Businesses, small or large, can harness the possibilities enabled by the ultra high speed fibre broadband network to enhance their services and create new opportunities. As today’s business world gears towards cloud-based services, visitors can understand better the tangible benefits of such scalable platforms, resources and services at iExperience. Enabled by advancement in technology and services, superb connectivity and enhanced collaboration solutions like unified comms and life-like video conferencing, businesses can also choose to adopt flexible working arrangements and transform the way they work for better productivity and work-life balance.&nbsp; At iExperience, visitors can understand how the workplace of the future remains professional and improves collaboration and efficiency, and how it can be located near to residential areas. Such a Smart Work Centre setup can be an alternative to home-based work or working at the office. </p>
<p>iii.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Learn </p>
<p>Creating an enriching experience in learning, the innovative use of infocomm will meet the diverse needs of learners. In this classroom of the future, next gen services will enrich the learning experience through rich media content and empower learners to leverage various ICT tools for collaborative and self directed learning. Visitors can try new applications on the interactive multi-touch tables and the educational applications that make learning meaningful and enjoyable. To capture the experience of their visit to iExperience, visitors can customize the photos they take at iExperience with special iExperience templates and upload them to social media applications to share with their families and friends.</p>
<p>iv.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Interact </p>
<p>Next gen services can also transform the way we conduct our everyday activities such as grocery shopping.&nbsp; With Near Field Communication (NFC), grocery shopping can be done using your NFC mobile phone even if you are not at a supermarket. Visitors can simply tap the NFC mobile phone and experience the convenience of having the groceries delivered at the doorstep at the NFC showcase. Visitors can also understand how business operations have transformed and become more automated as technology evolves with innovative services and applications. </p>
<p>More exciting activities await visitors. At arrival, visitors will be welcomed by an “earth-shattering” greeting from our friendly ambassador. Making its first ever appearance in Singapore at imbX 2012, visitors can mingle and interact with a delightful concierge robot from 19 June to 23 June 2012. </p>
<p>iExperience is situated at Esplanade Xchange, along the shortest linkway between Raffles City and Suntec City. It is opened from 10am to 8pm daily. Admission is free. </p>
<p>To register for our guided tours please contact Ms Rinas (iExperience Centre Manager) at 6820 6880.</p></li></ul>
