Robofish are Co-operativeIt is amazing to see how far artificial intelligence has progressed thus far - the Robofish you see here is able to work not only on its own but as a group. Each of these underwater robots are roughly the same size of a 10-pound salmon, featuring fins in place or propellers and will be able to “co-operatively track moving targets underwater, such as groups of whales or spreading plumes of pollution, or explore caves, underneath ice-covered waters, or in dangerous environments where surfacing might not be possible.” Well, what can I say? The positive benefits are surely there for us to reap - hopefully nobody takes one of these and reverse engineer it for nefarious purposes.
