Chaos amongst the Koi: Curtin student creates a robotic fish

Curtin Mechatronics Engineering student Warren Tarboton, working with Performance Artist and Director of the Alternate Anatomies Lab, Stelarc, has used advanced 3D printing technology to bring his creation to life... so to speak!
This cool robotic fish, complete with waterproof silicone skin and smartphone-activated controls, is so real it is accepted by real, living fish. See for yourself!
Dr Lei Cui, Lecturer at the Department of Mechanical Engineering is the project supervisor.

Wow. ....I wish I could actually see it? How the real fishes in the ponf must have responded to this robotic fish. I think they will certainly know that it's not their kind. Thanks for the brilliant innovation. Cheers.
