The lifelike movements of the robot mean it can navigate aquatic environments without triggering any discernible alarm among marine life.
As the old saying goes, there are indeed plenty of fish in the sea.
But not many have servo motors, a lithium polymer battery, and a 3D-printed silicone head filled with baby oil.
Researchers at MIT unveiled March 21 their latest hi-tech endeavor, a lifelike underwater robot fish that can navigate aquatic environments and capture real-time video and data with on-board cameras and sensors.
