It's Neatorama collaboration Monday!
xoxoxoBruce finds this item which is apparently been around for a while, but I hadn't seen it before, so if it's new to me maybe it's new to you.
Seth Weiner is responsible for this thing - the camera watches where the fish goes, a computer determines where the fish is moving and moves the vehicle in that direction.
The
YouTube video of it only makes it a little less mind-boggling; the vehicle doesn't really move that fast. And the fish has a pretty simple nervous system and probably wouldn't figure out, exactly, that it was somehow hooked up to a robot that could actually move it around.
Still, freaky!
