Cham.Nach einem Überraschungs-Polterabend, den die Arbeitskollegen der Rettungswache Cham für Julia und Tobias am Samstagabend organisierten, folgte am Mittwochvormittag die standesamtliche Trauung. Die Rettungssanitäterin aus Michelsdorf und der Polizei-Kommissar aus Simpering gaben sich vor dem Standesbeamten und Bürgermeister von Hohenwarth, Xaver Gmach, das Jawort. Als Brautauto fungierte ein Rettungswagen, in dem sich Julia Peinelt und Tobias Aschenbrenner bei einem Einsatz kennengelernt hatten.

Researchers have made a smart school of robotic fish that swarm and swim just like the real deal, and they offer promising insights into how developers can improve decentralised, autonomous operations for other gizmos like self-driving vehicles and robotic space explorers. Also, they’re just pretty stinking cute.

Mini fish-like robots swim in schools
Tue, 19 January 2021
Inspired by how schools of fish intuitively synchronize their movements, Harvard scientists have engineered miniature underwater robots capable of forming autonomous swarms.
Each robotic fish, known as a “Bluebot,” is equipped with cameras and blue LED lights that sense the direction and distance of others inside water tanks.
They swim using flapping fins rather than propellers, which improves their efficiency and maneuverability compared to standard underwater drones.
“It’s definitely useful for future applications – for example a search mission in the open ocean where you want to find people in distress and rescue them quickly,” said Florian Berlinger, the lead author of a paper about the research that appeared in Science Robotics on January 13.

Engineers at Harvard University have developed a school of seven robot fish that can swim in circles without crashing into one another. The robot fish can swim in real-time just like real fishes..
Previously, researchers have tried to make robots coordinate themselves in water but have failed. Recently, a team of researchers from Harvard University has succeeded in developing a swarm of robotic fish that can swim without crashing into one another.

The engineers developed swarms of robotic fish that coordinate their movement through a centralized computer. The computer gives them directions on where they should go in the form of GPS coordinates.
