Robot Fish army will be used to detect pollution, then take over the seas

British robotics team has unveiled new fish robots which are very lifelike and the are designed to happily swim around and detect water pollution with their koi-style whiskers.  Don’t let the bejeweled piscine machine fool you about it’s true intentions. Just because they are cute and they swim in a very natural way doesn’t mean they are not out to get you. The first generation machines will be five feet long and if they were really used for pollution monitoring seems like they could be a lot smaller. Sure the Robo-fish are designed to monitor waterborne pollution but they really are coldwater killers. This is just one more step in the inevitable take over by our robot overlords. Hey do you think that they could skin one to look like a peppermint angelfish and if they did, would it cost more than the real thing?
