Lionfish

Engineering Blog #1

Very recently, the robotics company that invented "Roomba", has invented a robot intended to cleanse the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. This robot is meant to go deep into the depths, in order to shock and kill the Lionfish.

The Lionfish is no peaceful, regular animal however. It is a vicious predator, one that poses a serious threat to the ecosystem of the Atlantic ocean.

The Lionfish may look exotic and interesting, but it poses grave danger to the millions of other unique species in the Atlantic Ocean.



Below is a picture of the device crafted to shock the Lionfish.

This project will be the first to address environmental issues with a robotic solution, introducing a new type of solution to addressing these types of issues.
