Robot Fish Can Blend in and Spy on Real Sea Creatures

As the world moving towards the Robotics and Automation, here comes a SoFi - which is called a Robofish developed by Computer Science students of MIT college which can swim in the open water along with the marine creatures.

They are now secret agencies for capturing the marine life in recent times. Click here for knowing more details about how a SoFi work in the water.

This is the first robotic fish in all 3 dimensions for extended period of time. It is more excited to get about the possibility of getting a system like this to get closer to marine life than humans can get on their own.

SoFi can handle upto a deep of 50 feet for 40 mins. It is strong enough to push back the currents and can take high resolution photos. Using a waterproofed super Nintendo controller, it can dive in straight line, turn, dive up or down.

The materials for building up SoFi is understood in the video shown above in the link. The robot is capable of close observations and interactions with marine life and appears to not be disturbing to real fish.

In future there will be more proven versions of Robofish which will be replacing the human researching in marine life with all the limitations.
