TOKYO : Engineers in Japan say they are a step closer to developing technology they hope will cut the risk of car crashes - by mimicking the behaviour of fish.
*
The experts at Nissan Motor have been studying fish and the way they are able to swim in schools and avoid colliding with each other.
*
The result is a robot that can travel in a group of up to seven, avoiding bumps by sharing information with its peers.
*
The firm hopes to use the technology in its vehicles in future.
*
The three-wheeled robot uses a laser range finder, which measures the distance to an obstacle, and radio communications to recreate the behaviour of fish, which can change direction and travel side by side without colliding.
