Scientists will put some robot fish into the sea near Spain this year. These robot fish will help people find out the pollution in the water. If the robot fish are able to finish their work successfully, the team of scientists hopes the fish will be used in rivers, lakes and seas around the world. The robot fish are about 1.5 meters long. There will be a detector (探测器) in their bodies. It can find the pollution in the water, and then the robot fish will eat part of it.
Unlike other robots, they don’t need to be operated (操作) by people far away. The robots all have an eight-hour battery (电池). They can “swim” in the sea freely and send back information to people on the beach. After their batteries run down, they will go back to the beach by themselves.
There are five robot fish altogether. Each costs (花费) about 29,000 dollars. They are part of a three-year project between engineering company BMT Group and Essex University in southeastern England.

WAIC (世界人工智能大会) was held in Shanghai in August, 2019. Many famous people were present. Let me share what I saw at the event with you.
At the WAIC, Microsoft displayed a special pair of glasses. The glasses can be used to carry out operations in hospital, to teach students better in schools, and to talk with people from different countries freely. Microsoft also showed a pair of glasses that can help the blind "hear" the world.
Huawei showed people a new invention. It is called "Atlas". The invention can load (载入) information three times faster than an ordinary computer. It can also store (储存) a lot more information. I think it is very cool.
IBM has created a new AI robot called "Cimon" that can work in space. Cimon can work on the International Space Station for a few months. It can chat with astronauts and store their space journals (日记). In a special room, visitors can see the pictures and videos Cimon took in space. How interesting Cimon is!
In a word, AI will make our life better and better. I saw many interesting things at this year's WAIC. How will AI continue to change our life? Perhaps next year's WAIC will give us an answer.
