Description:
Built to simulate the action of a fish, the RoboTuna was designed by engineers at MIT to see if a robot submarine could mimic the incredibly efficient way tuna swim. The metallic tuna proved to use less energy and to be more maneuverable than other robotic submarines. Courtesy of Sam Ogden.
