Some of these people have watched Terminator one too many times.

The goal of the robot isn't to look "realistic" it's to help find divers, locate submarines, and numerous other tasks that don't need it to look pretty. The application of an aqua robot isn't limited to one task, sure you can put a rubber skin on them, but why spend the extra money?

Omg. they should make that a shark repellent, If I was a shark I would stay the Hell away from that thing. lolz.

For the same reason fish is shaped like they are, to be able to swim faster and spend less energy doing so.
