A photo from open sources Today you can control the quality of water in any reservoirs with the help of robots. It was such an idea that was born in the minds Singaporean scientists six years ago. True first the developers went the wrong way.
They settled on underwater devices, but at this time Mandar Chaitra, who heads the tropical water research department in National University of the country, proposed a simpler solution – create floating robots, say, in the form of waterfowl. This and was the beginning of the birth of the current NuSwan swan robot.
True, as in the famous fairy tale, NuSwan was first born nasty duckling, since it was the duck that was taken by scientists as a basis create a robotic water controller. However, the duck turned out to be too small to supply such a floating robot to everyone necessary equipment: mobile and many other chips, navigation sensors and so on, that is, all that could collect and transmit information on the composition of water all twenty-four hours a day.
And then a beautiful swan was born, which is quite consistent the famous tale of Hans Christian Andersen. NuSwan Swan Robot turned out to be not only more convenient for equipping it with everything necessary a set of equipment, but also turned out to be a more successful bird with psychological point of view – white swans are always associated in our minds with beauty and harmony, with crystal clear water. TO Moreover, these majestic birds can fit very organically in any water landscape, says Mandar Chaitre.
Soon, the first swan robot will begin to monitor the waters in the north Singapore. After its testing and refinement, most likely, such NuSwan will be manufactured a lot, but the first one is different in that that he, as in a fairy tale, turned into a white swan from an ugly gray duckling. All other robots will immediately be “born” beautiful swans.
