ROBOT OF THE WEEK: ROBO-TUNA
by Hazed
Project Silent Nemo is the US military endeavour to develop a new underwater spy, in the form of a robotic tuna. The spy fish is 5 foot long, weighs a hundred pounds, and looks like a Bluefin tuna.
Robotuna can be controlled by remote control or programmed to swim along a predetermined route. It could enter enemy waters, inspect ships and search for underwater mines.
The tunadroid is in the process of being tested by the United States Office of Naval Research and could see active service in a year’s time.
I wonder what will happen if people out fishing for real tuna fish accidentally catch one of these!
