RoboFish

Underwater robots that swim like fish and work together without someone remotely controlling them? While it seems like the premise for a movie, it's actually a project underway right now.

Reporters are just like movie/tv writers-- they know how to tell a story but they can't end a story. A pun at the end of a story is a cop out.

Just the thought of autonomous swimming robots gives me the creeps. Wonder how small they can make them with cameras and other not so pleasant stuff to contemplate. On the other hand, maybe we could restock the over-fished oceans with robofish and feed them to our robotic vaccum cleaners and cars?
