In a major international breakthrough, the Zoology Research Department of Alphonsa College, Pala, has been awarded an International Design Patent from the UK for a uniquely engineered robotic fish designed to tackle aquatic pollution.
Developed by a dedicated research team consisting of students and faculty—including Jubimol George, Reeja Mol Sebastian, Ardhra Prakash, Dr. Manju Elizabeth Kuruvilla, Sini Susan Antony, Teena James, Reema Rose Mani, and Athulya Andrews—the autonomous “Plastic Aqua-Clean Boat” mimics the natural swimming movements of a fish to efficiently clean water bodies.
