Scientists are planning to launch robotic fish off the port of Gijon (North Spain) to detect pollution levels in the sea. The fish are remarkably life-like and can remain underwater for several hours.

Each robotic fish measures about 1.5 m in length and has cost some Rs. 14.9 lakh to make.  These robotic fish will collect data and transmit it using Wi-Fi technology.  They are battery operated and are designed to get back to their charging stations every 8 hours or so to recharge their batteries…sounds straight out of a sci-fi movie!
