Robotic Fish for Sea Exploration http://www.watchonepiecepoint.com/2010/04/robotic-fish-for-sea-exploration/ http://www.watchonepiecepoint.com/2010/04/robotic-fish-for-sea-exploration/#comments Wed, 14 Apr 2010 10:41:18 +0000 Jo http://www.watchonepiecepoint.com/?p=1030 The world under the ocean has still many secrets that we are not aware of and MIT engineers are now ready to explore the unexplored regions under the water with their latest invention called the Robofish.

The world under the ocean has still many secrets that we are not aware of and MIT engineers are now ready to explore the unexplored regions under the water with their latest invention called the Robofish. The prototype looks very much like a trout and contains only 10 parts which are covered by a body made from single soft polymer. MIT engineers confessed that the inspiration for making such a device came from Robotuna which was first invented in the year 1994 but it did not succeed because the fish was too large and contained thousands of parts which could not stand the test of time and the harsh conditions under water.

Now with the invention of the so-called Robofish, MIT engineers are ready to take this device to the bottom of the ocean floor where these devices will detect the pollution levels and inspect and survey various oil and gas pipelines. The device has been designed in such a way that is mimics the movements of a real fish and since the body is more streamlined and sleek it can dive into the deeper sections of the ocean to find the information we want.

The engineers at MIT are very happy about the invention because they feel that this device will work because it has gone through some harsh conditions in the lab and the overall cost of production is very low which means that if successful they can create thousands of such devices which they can release in the bay to inspect, survey and relay information to us. In other words, this robofish acts like a watchful guard inside the sea through which we can monitor the situations happening inside the water. Currently, the research is funded by an oil exploration company named Schlumberger but MIT engineers have said that even US Navy is now interested in their robofish project.

The success of every technological gadget depends on the number of features and application it has for the users. Most branded companies make sure that come out with new products that would help more and more users. When Apple announced that they will be coming out with a new touch screen mini tablet there was a lot of buzz in the technology market, but it was only after the release of Apple iPad that people knew about the pros and cons of Apple iPad.

One of the biggest plus points of Apple iPad is its superb sleek look. Apple iPad designers have worked really hard to give this small genie an awesome look that would attract anybody instantly. The iPad has a large flat screen that almost looks like a magazine in hand and becomes more convenient for the users to use multiple windows. Another good point about iPad is that it has 3G technology which means that users can switch between 3G and Wi-Fi technology depending on speed. Hence, with iPad users will always have faster speeds of internet connectivity. The makers of iPad are aware that people today use more and more gadgets and therefore they have added more applications and softwares.

However, Apple iPad does not support flash websites which means that most of the latest websites that incorporates flash will not be viewable through Apple iPad. If you like multi tasking than you will be disappointed with Apple iPad because it does not support multi tasking and does not even have a web cam like you will find in other touch screen mini tablets available in the market. The operating system of Apple iPad is also very much into controversy because it does not allow users to add additional hardware if the components are not approved by Apple which means that users cannot add all their favorite hardware components even if they want to unless Apple approves it.

World’s most advanced gadget technology company, Apple has announced the Asia’s availability of its consumer software suite iLife 09, which includes upgrades to iPhoto 09, iMovie 09 and GarageBand 09.

New to iPhoto 09 is the ability to browse your photo collection by faces and places. A new way to organize your photos in iPhoto 09 is Faces, which automatically scans photos using face detection to identify specific persons in a picture and assign a name to them. From there you will be able to search for photos by a person’s name or through the new Faces View. Alternatively, the new feature can be used to create smart photo albums of groups of people such as family or friends easily in a matter of seconds. Another new feature in iPhoto 09 is Places, which automatically imports photo location data from a GPS-enabled camera to compile your photos by location into a map. Once iPhoto 09 knows where each photo is taken, you can easily explore your recent trip to, say Paris, using an interactive map. Don’t worry if you do not have a camera with geo-tagging capabilities because you will manually assign location information to any photo, group of photos or event. If you like sharing your photos online on Facebook and Flickr, iPhoto 09 allows you to publish photos and even includes assigned names and even retrieves name tags added on Facebook back to iPhoto 09.

If you are more into video editing, iMovie 09 brings to the table a new Precision Editor feature that allows users to skim and click on a magnified filmstrip to view clips up close and fine-tune them such as using sound from one clip with video from another. Another new addition to iMovie 09 is video stabilization that helps smoothen and reduce camera shake in clips added to your project. Other additions to iMovie 09 include new titles, transition effects, speed changes and animated travel maps ala the Indiana Jones films to add that professional touch to your movies.

Apple’s popular music editing software, GarageBand 09 now comes with pre-recorded instrument lessons that teach budding musicians how to play the piano and guitar. The lessons include some basic ones to learn the fundamentals at your own pace. GarageBand 09 also includes new guitar amp and stomp-box effects.

iLife is available now at $78 for a single user licence and $100 for a family pack through the Apple Store that allows the software to be installed on up to five computers. Users who have purchased a new Mac system from an Apple authorized reseller after January can upgrade iLife 09 for a minimal fee of $10 to have the software shipped over. For more details, please visit Apple iLife 2009 Website.
