Naro

NARO

Naro is a nautical robot that looks like a fish. It was built by Swiss students at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich in 2009. The robotic fish is a picturesque semblance of a tuna fish that measures approximately 80 centimeters in length and moves at a speed of 1-2 meters per second. Although it is shaped like a fish, the only moving part of the robot is its tail.

Features: 

• Can spend prolonged amounts of time underwater
• Minimal disturbance to marine life
• Effective swimming-like movements with minimal noise
• More efficiently propelled than the conventional ROV
