open in viewer

Indigenous to the western Pacific, lionfish are an invasive species that have been wreaking havoc along the coasts of the western Atlantic. The rapid reproductive cycle of these fish combined with the fact that they have no natural predators in the Atlantic Ocean has made them a considerable threat to the local ecology. Current methods of combating the invasive lionfish have seen little to no results. This is the fourth year that students from WPI have collaborated to develop a robotic solution to help curb the exploding lionfish population. This year’s focus was on developing a stereo vision system capable of detecting an object and determining its distance, an improved navigation system that incorporates P control, as well as a revised design for the harvesters' container.
