Armed with nothing more than a couple of sensors, a robotic fish unveiled by Japanese scientists this week could one day be used to observe fish in the ocean or survey oil platforms for damage.
Modeled on the koi, a decorative strain of carp popular in Japan, the remote-controlled white, red and gold robot can maneuver its way around a fish pond with a realistic flick of its tail.
The 80-cm (32-inch) carp can also use sensors in its mouth to monitor the concentration of oxygen in water, a key to fish health…
Expensive as a one-off, I wonder what price would result from serious production?
Sharks are “What does this taste like?” So expect a lot of first models end up in tiny bits.
You could make them as cheap as cell phones probably under a dollar each.It all depends on how many you could sell.
