This is a very intelligent move for British scientists who invented a robotic fish to detect pollution in the sea. According to Yahoo news, this picture has just released on March 20, 2009 although the picture was taken in October, 2005. This robotic fish will be released into the sea off north Spain. It moves just like real fish, it is equipped with chemical sensors to sniff out potentially hazardous pollutants, such as leaks from vessels or underwater pipelines. The robotic fish in this picture is just a sample. The one that they are going to release into the sea is about 1.5 meters.
Recently, I also read the news about a robotic human in a fashion show. I guess in a few years we will see more robotic animals and humans more often. Who knows!
