Underwater Survey Robots - The Fish-Like Tai-Robot-Kun (VIDEO)
The Fish-Like Tai-Robot-Kun
Published: Jul 27, 08

“Tai-robot-kun,” is an underwater survey robot that looks like a giant fish.  The robot was developed by the University of Kitakyushu.

The giant fish weighs 7 kgs, and is made from a silicone body, covered in realistically hand-painted scales. It also features a unique propulsion system that allows its tail to generate realistic swimming movements.

I am glad that this fish robot actually serves a purpose that will benefit us all, rather than it being designed to solely showcase human absurd capabilities. I just hope this technology doesn’t get to the wrong hands.
