A realistic robot sea bream developed by engineers at the University of Kitakyushu which glides through the water like a real fish will be released into the sea to perform a wide range of oceanographic survey tasks.

He adds that because the robot swims silently and looks like a real fish, it would be able to gather data without alarming the creatures it encounters. clipped from www.kitakyu-u.ac.jp clipped from robot.watch.impress.co.jp clipped from robot.watch.impress.co.jp clipped from robot.watch.impress.co.jp clipped from robot.watch.impress.co.jp clipped from www.crunchgear.com The engineers involved in the project say they are ready to mass-produce the robot, which is currently a unique piece. The fish was shown to the general public during an event on the university campus last week. A robotic manta ray is in development as well. clipped from technovelgy.com Here's a small school of robot fish: - Robotic Fish From China - Robofish Autonomous Fish-bot At London Acquarium - Robotic Carps Swims Realistically In London - RoboSalmon Are Descended From SHARCs - Robofish Swim Autonomously And Communicate Wirelessly
