Robotic fish

Print Me

Computer scientists at the University of Essex in the U.K. developed this self–guided robotic fish, seen here in a tank in the London Aquarium, where it’s been swimming with two other robotic fish since 2006.

The fish use artificial intelligence and built–in sensors to avoid obstacles and respond to environmental changes.

Project leader Huosheng Hu said that the designers’ aim was to build a robotic fish that could swim like a living fish and navigate by itself

If you can’t get to London to see these robo–fish, you can watch three of them swim around a tank in the video, below. Do they look “real” to you?
