A school of mechanical, battery-powered robots in the shape of fish will be released into a Spanish port to help monitor pollution there. The 1.5m-long robots, made by robotics experts from the University of Essex, will be equipped with sensors to detect oil slicks spilled from ships or other contaminants pumped into the water from underground pipes.(See photo)

近日，科学家们计划向西班牙某港口投放由电池驱动的机器鱼，以监测水中污染物。这种机器鱼由英国埃塞克斯大学研究人员制作，每条长约1.5米，身上装备传感器，可发现轮船泄漏的燃油或地下管道排放的化学污染物。(见图)
