Before reading the article I believed that the article would be very interesting. It appeared as if a group of college students from MIT created a robotic school of fish. This is of interest to me because maybe the students will be able to follow and record information about other fish. The robotic fish might fit in with the other fish in the schools.
After reading the article what I first assumed was true. The students created a robot fish. They named these new robotic fish Robotuna’s. “Most of the brains, the electronics, are embedded inside,” said Alvaradeo, who designed the robofish with fellow MIT engineer Kamal Youcef-Toumi. “We have built prototypes with the battery inside, but for my experiments, for simplicity. We have a lot of prototypes that are simply tethered. We have a cable that runs out from the body and connects to a power supply.” The new robofish will be used to map the ocean floor, detect pollution or inspect and survey submerged boats or oil and gas pipelines. This will aid the world so much in the future by helping to make the world a better place.
