Pink Tentacle points us to this amazing looking sea bream robot.
Tai-robot-kun’s creator, professor Ikuo Yamamoto, says the robot can easily be mass-produced, outfitted with various cameras and sensors, and released into the sea to perform a wide range of oceanographic survey tasks. He adds that because the robot swims silently and looks like a real fish, it would be able to gather data without alarming the creatures it encounters.

Haha! Look, even that octopus isn’t scared of it! nom nom nom… DOH!
Neat, but what happens when something eats it? I hope the data is a live feed to somewhere else, because I’m pretty sure vegetarians and environmentalists frown upon ripping open sharks to retrieve info.
Ipecac, maybe?
