This CRPA award will engage public audiences in a robotic experience that will help them better understand live fish, aquatic environments, engineering and marine science. The issue addressed by this project deals with enhancing the aquarium experience and learning several new concepts in biology and animal behavior. Each engaged youngster can control a robot fish or even a school of fish to experiment with how fish function and perhaps to mimic what he or she has observed in the big tank of live fish. One special App that is downloadable to i-devices allows the viewer to see what the fish sees and can control that fish. This activity is an aquarium exhibit containing robotic fish. It is engineered so that external devices can keep the fish energized, but the key is that observers can actually control the movements of the fish remotely using the exhibit controls or their own i-device such as an i-Phone. This exhibit will be at the New York aquarium on the Boardwalk of Brooklyn where large numbers of people visit. Many of these individuals are from under-served groups.This is a cooperative venture between Polytechnic University of New York, New York University and the New York Aquarium.

该CRPA奖将让公众参与机器人体验，帮助他们更好地了解活鱼、水生环境、工程和海洋科学。这个项目解决的问题是提高水族馆的体验，学习生物学和动物行为学的几个新概念。每一个参与的幼鱼都可以控制一条机器鱼，甚至是一群鱼，来实验鱼是如何运作的，也许还可以模仿他或她在一个大鱼缸里观察到的活鱼。一个特殊的应用程序可以下载到i-设备上，它可以让观看者看到鱼看到的东西，并可以控制鱼。这个活动是一个包含机器鱼的水族馆展览。它的设计是为了让外部设备保持鱼的活力，但关键是观察者可以使用展览控制器或他们自己的i-设备（如iphone）远程控制鱼的运动。这个展览将在布鲁克林木板路上的纽约水族馆举行，那里有很多人参观。其中许多人来自服务不足的群体。这是纽约理工大学、纽约大学和纽约水族馆的合作项目。
