Researchers at the University of Essex in Colchester are working on the robotic fish
21、 as part of a 2.5million EU-funded project to find new ways of monitoring water waste.Each fish will be about 50cm long, 15cm high and 12cm wide. They will be packed with pollution sensors（传感器）that can electronically smell harmful chemicals in the water.Scientists have developed “swarm（群）intelligenc
22、e techniques” which allow the fish to work as a team without humans.The robotic fish will communicate with each other using wi-fi as they seek out areas of pollution. They work out where they are with inbuilt GPS systems and artificial intelligence software will enable them to move without the need
