Robot fish synchronise into schools

HA HA, you made me laugh so hard. Your comments are insightful and it is great knowing people appreciate your work:).

The point of the project is to develop communication hardware and schemes as well as control algorithms that will allow robots to work together in performing the tasks given to them.

The fish robots themselves have been built for the students and their professors to test the hardware and algorithms developed in a 3D environment.

Google Nonlinear Dynamics and Controls Lab.

You guys aren't that bright =(. It was a student project at the university of washington. Should probably stop talking and go back to school.

Just think, Some company gave these guys hundreds of thousands to create electronic fish. What a waste of engineering dollars. For the same amount of money you could bring water to thousands of third world people..... so fucking stupid

I'm sure people said the same about steam when it was first proposed.
"Ha ha, pressurised steam, you can't do anything with that!"
Besides which, I really doubt this hundreds of thousand of (insert currency).
I'm a robotics student myself, and I could probably put together one of these things for under a hundred quid (about a hundred bucks at today's exchange rate).

All of this, and probably half a million dollars to make it. And they set it in the ocean after decades of funding and everyone cheers and -

And a fucking whale surfaces and eats it. And everyone realises how fucking dumb THAT idea was.

where are the frik'n lasers?

Yeah they can program it to do all that.

Then a sea lion will swallow it in one gulp.\

Brilliant.

someday we will catch a robot fish of army for lunch

haha

and cut it with laser knife

to clean it off of gears

lol
