Robofish

M.I.T. has created a new robot fish called Robofish for oceanography purposes ( You can read this article athttp://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/science/08/31/robotic.fish.mit/index.html This new robotic fish is way better than the older Robotuna. The newer generation of robotic fish can go deeper than a submarine, can move exactly like a real fish, and it is able to take underwater measurements, yet it only cost them a few hundred dollars to make. Unlike the Robotuna, this robot fish is made of only ten parts and can withstand harsh weather. Amazingly, they have turned away from this new robot and are now looking into making Manta-ray and Salamander robots. One day, this new robot may change the way we view the ocean. It may see what is at the bottom of the Marianna Trench or find a new shipwreck. For all we know, it may find Amelia Earhart's lost plane, or find the real bottom of the ocean. There's no end to what this new piece of technology can do.
