Robotic fish
Professor Huosheng Hu has developed a robotic fish that is apparently able to mimic that elegant swish-flick of a real fish. According to the article they are biologically inspired robotic fish which mimic the undulating movement of nature's fish species – aiming for the speed of the tuna, the acceleration of a pike, and the navigating skill of the eel.They are going to be let loose in the London Aquarium. Underwater society will be scandalised!

This isn't the first time someone's made a robotic sea creature - jacques costeau had a shark made. Actually, a few of them. From memory, the first was attacked and destroyed by real sharks, a later one was destroyed by another shark when they made it act as though it was injured, and another was actually a submarine with a person inside it.
They looked more realistic than that one, though - it doesn't even look aquadynamic. Surely that gap between the head and the body is going to cause a lot of drag?
Yep.. and Sony have a new version of a robodog that needs petting...
Best thing about a robodog - no cleanup!
