Flexible Bluetooth Tags on marine animals attract interest from Spanish Media and National Geographic OverviewThe flexible bluetooth TAGS were recently tested on marine animals (fish, turtle, crabs, etc) in a facility in Valencia Spain. These tags collect sensors data from the marine animals and send it in a wireless fashion to innovative floating receivers in water. This is joint work from our group (Kuo, Akram, Qingle and Nidhi) as well as Prof. Hussain and Prof. Jurgen's groups. The successful demonstration attracted media's attention and the news was shown on Spanish National TV (10 million audiences), see link below. Kuo, who was involved in this testing in Valencia Spain, was interviewed by National Geographic Channel. The documentary film from National Geographic, which will have this interview with Kuo, will be aired on 3rd June 2018. here are some links from Spain's media.
