This is a clip from Beyond Tomorrow documenting RoboFish. The London Aquarium has a robot that mimics the movement of a fish. Essex University is developing robotic fish technology for potential use as propulsion for future submarine craft.
KEWL!
robo-fish: as useless as tits on a fish
definitely a step in the wrong direction
AWESOME! But…I wonder if it is programmed with any defense mechanisms? Imagine letting one of these loose in the open water and it being eaten!
It appears that you have a limited vision of the capabilities and opportunities:
- Seabed exploration
- Marine life tracking and observation
- Underwater filming
- Underwater mapping
- Wreck investigation
- Pollution tracking
- Military applications
etc.
All that stuff is already possible, I stand by my truth said in jest! If that really could be the reasoning behind the funding for this project, I’d call that over-spending people’s money…especially with that last suggestion!
Yeah, military applications…some people can’t find quick enough ways to kill each other…sigh.
As for the others, yes they can be done (I knew you were groin to say that!) but this technology could make it easier, quicker or less intrusive. Eg. a mini-sub rover is a lot larger than a fish and is usually tethered so a robot fish may be a better alternative for inspecting dangerous wrecks. Or maybe a whale would not mind a small fish following it instead of a couple of humans .
eddie070878 your as useless as tits on a boar hog!!! Hope you don’t have any desire to have kids to contaminate the rest of the world with your pathetic gene pool! This is the perfect weapons delivery system both fresh and salt water. Yes even fish tanks. Lets hope our government is checking all fish tanks in anyplace important people congregate or “school” together.There may be a fish fry involved

I really do feel sorry for you…”weapons”…your gene cesspool is definitely a bigger contamination of human kind.
You should at least have the courage to reply directly to others so they know when the sludge has left that pathetic, half-witted brain you allegedly possess.
180turnabout:
Guess I must be pretty useful since boar hogs DO have tits…ya mook!
It has lasers… Really, look closer, it does! :-P
