Robotic dolphins and sharks and fish-like robots with embodied artificial intelligence

Abstract

A robotic dolphin and shark empowered by generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) are disclosed, capable of autonomously performing essential tasks such as marine research, environmental monitoring, and underwater inspections. The robotic dolphin's lifelike design includes a head with snout, eyes, mouth, blowhole, body, pectoral fins, dorsal fin, and tail fin, all meticulously crafted to mimic the appearance and behavior of a real dolphin. A trained AI model functions as the brain, processing environmental data captured by video cameras, audio microphones, and sensors to provide guidance commands to a control system that controls the movements of the robotic dolphin. A well-trained live dolphin can serve as a teacher for one or multiple robotic dolphins using a generative AI-based real-time training method, enabling efficient and effective training of robotic dolphins.
