Every year we try to cull out the best of it all and put it into a neat pile for better viewing, for analysis, for making sense of what the heck happened during the previous year. Yearly, robotics seems always to be under intense scrutiny with everyone searching for that profound breakthrough technology that will finally vault robotics into the open.

\n

2012 was a better year than most for robotics; a watershed year, in fact, of eye-popping tech that’s going to rock our world. We follow them all. Check these out:

\nNDTV: Inspired by the speedy tuna capable of swimming tirelessly in the oceans, the US Department of Homeland Security will introduce a fish-like robot for underwater patrols.

\n

The ‘BIOSwimmer’ robot sports features like the real-life fish with replicated fins and a flexible tail to pull off quick maneuvers.

\n

US Homeland Security funded the robot made by Boston Engineering, Waltham, MA with an eye toward missions such as exploring the flooded areas of ships, inspecting oil tankers or patrolling US harbors to watch out for suspicious activity.

\n

“It’s called ‘biomimetics’. We’re using nature as a basis for design and engineering a system that works exceedingly well,” said David Taylor, program manager for the BIOSwimmer at the US Department of Homeland Security.

\n

The robot, which is based on the tuna’s sleek, flexible shape, would be able to squeeze into tight spaces such as the flooded bilges and tanks of ship interiors and fit in well with surrounding marine life.

\n

Would-be terrorists hoping to sneak weapons and other contraband through U.S. ports on and in the hulls of ships may be thwarted by this robotic tuna fish.
\n
The BIOSwimmer robofish is able to overcome so-called position-keeping problems experienced by traditional underwater robots that are powered by vertical and horizontal thrusters, according to Taylor.

\n

The robot can sit in the water and go through a swimming motion like a fish and give you a better position-keeping capability. Such steadiness could be important, for example, while the robot uses an array of sensors to inspect grated cavities in ship hulls called sea chests where contraband could be stashed.

\n
\"BIOSwimmer\"
\n

Control is via a tether attached to a laptop computer. The tether is long enough to inspect ship hulls more than 500 feet in length, Taylor noted.

\n

The robot can also operate autonomously, he added, but when it is not hooked to the tether “sending data up through the water column is somewhat challenging.” To get around that, the robot would have to be periodically brought back to the surface for data downloading, which limits real-time inspection capabilities.

\n

The Department of Homeland Security is in discussions with an undisclosed custom’s port to begin testing a prototype of the robot within a year.

\n

\n

We believe that robots will be the most advanced creatures of human beings on Earth, which offer a wide range of robot-related products and services for the economic growth in Singapore and beyond.

\n

\n
 
\n
On the other hand, robotics is a unique discipline which bridges over science and engineering and also offers a new horizon for the gifted minds to anchor in the endeavor of undertaking new discovery in science and new invention in engineering.
\n
 
\n
 
\n
 
\n
History:
\n
 

\n
The discussion on the setup of the Robotics Society of Singapore was triggered by the invitation from Professor Tomomasa Kato, President of Robotics Society of Japan, to Prof. Xie Ming. In the invitation, Prof. Xie Ming has been invited to represent Singapore to participate to the annual meeting under the name of Asian Robotics Society Summit. With the help from James Lee and Xu Jin, the scope and vision for Robotics Society of Singapore have been drafted. And, we position ourselves as a professional, and not-for-profit, body which aims at nurturing friendship and promoting robotics among those corporations and individuals who believe that robots will be a big thing to come, to play, and to contribute to the mankind and the modern society.
