ECHOARFISH
Hugo Adelantado Dominguez
It is a robot inspired by the oarfish. While a boat is sailing, the robot swims next to it, and if there is an accident, the Echoarfish emits a signal that notifies an the coastguard, which sends immediate help to the boat.

In this prototype I wanted to explore possibilities of movement of the oarfish.
Prototype 1
In this prototype, thanks to the help of my colleague Judit, I was able to improve the movement of the oarfish's tail so that I could then focus on the head.
Prototype 2
Prototype 3
In this latest prototype I have redesigned the measurements and added a head. I also changed its function to be more useful for ships.
