Gold fish patrol its an idea brought to reality as with computer, and vision even animals would be able to control this simplistic device.
'The best way to show this was to enable fish to drive their own
aquarium wherever they want to go.' The bizarre
robo-aquarium that lets fish drive themselves around the home. Aquarium
mounted on remote control car chassis. Camera
analyses the direction the fish is swimming in - and controls the car
accordingly.Project could be
funded as Kickstarter project It could
give your fish a new lease of life - and allow them to explore the world
outside their aquarium. A prototype version of 'Fish on Wheels' was
constructed using a standard webcam, a battery powered Beagleboard and an
Arduino controlled robot vehicle.

Using the contrast
of the fish with the bottom of the fish tank.
Its position is determined and
used to send commands to the Arduino computer control board to move the car
into that direction.'Our pet fish have always been limited to their water
holding area known as 'the fish tank', the firm said.
A camera mounted above the tank allows it to 'watch' the fish to see
what direction to drive in+4The location of
the fish is determined using computer software, which can then 'drive' the car
in the direction the fish is swimming in'In an attempt to liberate fish all
over the world, the first self driving car for fish has been developed.

'Up until now
driving vehicles has been limited to mankind only (excluding a handful of
autonomous vehicles driven by computers).
But now your pet fish can also put
the pedal to the metal.' de Wolf said the project was still only at the
prototype stage, and is set to be improved before being launched as a
Kickstarter project. 'Hopefully this invention will encourage more development
in enhanced pet mobility, so pet animals can travel the world more freely.' The
team admit they are not sure how much the fish knows about its newfound
ability. 'We are still not sure if the fish really has any idea of what it is
doing for now,' said de Wolf. 'After letting it drive a little while we always
put it back in it's normal aquarium with plants and filters to not stress it
out too much.'how it works
