A collaborative scientific effort has tested pollution-detecting robotic fish off the coast of Spain. The Shoal project, which has been running for the past three years, recently announced that it successfully created a prototype that can swim around obstacles while gathering and mapping chemical traces of pollutants. The fish design is meant to both improve movement and let the robots blend into the environment; they were recently tested in the port of Gijon, Spain.
