The University of Haifa has developed a swarm of low-cost underwater robots that can be used to prevent overfishing and harm to marine ecosystems
The robots coordinate with each other to acoustically detect and estimate fish populations. This technology has the potential to help ensure the sustainability of fisheries around the world.
The project was awarded a grant from Schmidt Marine Technology Partners, a program of the Schmidt Family Foundation led by former Google CEO Eric and his wife Wendy Schmidt. The Schmitts awarded a total of $3.5 million in grants to 10 organizations and universities around the world that are working to develop new technologies to protect the ocean.
The University of Haifa's project is one of many examples of how innovative technologies are being used to address the challenges facing the ocean today. By developing new ways to monitor and protect marine ecosystems, we can help ensure a healthy and sustainable future for the ocean.
