Recently, the world's first bionic whale shark "whale" developed by the 111 Factory of the Third Academy of Aerospace Science and Industry of China is now in the Volcano Shark Hall of Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park, presenting visitors with a different look and feel of high-tech marine life during the Spring Festival.
Such a special "actor" is a large-scale underwater ornamental bionic fish carefully cultivated by the underwater bionic team of the 111 factory of the Third Academy of Aerospace Science and Industry of China, which can highly simulate the real whale shark action, which is almost the same as the real whale shark, which is not only cool, but also full of science and technology. Only to see her swimming side by side with thousands of colorful rare fish in the seven-degree inclined immersive exhibition tank attracted the attention of many tourists.
The world's first bionic whale shark appears in Shanghai:
It is 4.7 meters long and can swim up and down to swim independently
In the newly opened mermaid restaurant, the bionic whale shark has completed the first "interaction" with the performance team, and in the future, it can also be equipped with different sensors to achieve water quality monitoring, photography and video in the fish tank.
This is not the first appearance of intelligent bionic fish developed by 111 Factory, as early as the Spring Festival of 2020, the factory successfully cooperated with Haichang Ocean Park, and the "Bionic Porpoise" jointly developed by the two companies not only shows the innovation driving force of the artificial intelligence era, but also presents the particularity of the Yangtze River Porpoise and its living environment through immersive interactive plots, so that visitors can feel the collision of nature and technology.
Based on the protection of rare aquatic organisms, but also in order to allow tourists to be immersed in close contact with whale sharks, the world's first bionic whale shark developed and produced by Factory 111 once again appeared in Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park, adding beautiful scenery to the Spring Festival Garden, while continuing to practice environmental protection responsibilities, calling on the public to pay attention to marine ecology.
As an aerospace enterprise growing up with the Republic, 111 Factory has always integrated innovation into the blood of development, successfully created dozens of firsts in the history of continental aerospace, and continued to provide key technical products for major national projects such as manned spaceflight and lunar exploration projects, and is known as the cradle of China's aerospace power unit and a meritorious enterprise in national defense construction.
In the new era, in the new journey towards transformation and upgrading and high-quality development, 111 Factory adheres to innovation-driven, integrates superior resources, integrates aerospace technology into the development of intelligent equipment industry, and carries out research and development of underwater intelligent bionic equipment for the three major application fields of interactive viewing entertainment, science and education training competitions, and "platform + sensor", and regards it as an important part of the core main business of "one strong, two new and one support".
Up to now, the 111 factory of the three hospitals has successfully developed a variety of models of bionic arowana, bionic killer whale, bionic porpoise, bionic whale shark and other models of products, and continues to promote the deep integration of marine bionic technology and intelligent systems, focusing on building a first-class underwater robot research and development, manufacturing, assembly, testing, sales and service integration of industrialization base, accelerating the marketization and industrialization process of underwater products, so that more marine life is presented in front of people.
