The robot is modelled on the golden arowana and uses a multi-joint tail to reproduce the swimming motion of a real fish.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>Jimu News quoted an exhibition staff member as saying that the robot does not follow a pre-programmed swimming route. <!-- -->Instead, its sensors detect obstacles and allow it to autonomously plan its movement. The report said the robot weighs 3 kg and has a three-joint tail divided into seven segments.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>According to the company product catalogue, the BG-5 is 640 mm long, 204 mm wide and 90 mm high, with a weight of 3 kg. It has a listed maximum operating depth of 5 metres and a maximum speed of 0.6 metres per second.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>The robot uses fish-tail propulsion, with its multi-joint tail generating movement through an undulating motion rather than relying on a conventional propeller. For navigation, the BG-5 is designed with autonomous obstacle-avoidance capabilities.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>The manufacturer also lists a BG-5V variant associated with capabilities including path planning, task allocation, formation control and multi-robot cooperation.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Potential defence applications<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Boyagongdao, the developer of the BG-5, has an established defence connection in underwater robotics. The company says it has undertaken a national defence key special project involving an underwater biomimetic detection platform.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>It has also developed the ROBO-SHARK biomimetic underwater robot in cooperation with a military unit, according to material published by the World Robot Conference.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>The BG-5 fish-like form and autonomous navigation could potentially make it useful for shallow-water reconnaissance and surveillance. Its small 3-kg form factor could allow it to operate in confined or shallow underwater environments where larger unmanned underwater vehicles may be less practical. <!-- -->Its fish-like, multi-joint propulsion could support low-profile underwater surveillance.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>Its BG-5V variant with its path planning, task allocation, formation control and multi-robot coordination, potentially enabling multiple underwater robots to conduct coordinated search, surveillance and reconnaissance missions.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/defence\/international\/watch-china-unveils-robotic-fish-modelled-on-the-golden-arowana-for-underwater-navigation\/articleshow\/134234520.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China\u2019s BG-5 Golden Dragon Fish biomimetic underwater robot showcased at CIFTIS in Beijing.
