Robotic Carp Are Just As Ugly October 10, 2005

In the nation that created fish and chips it's not surprising that robotic fish have been put on display at the London Aquarium. It took just three years to come up with these self-sufficient suckers and you’ll find them swimming around in their own tanks, entirely on their own (no wires, we promise). Embedded sensors promise true AI and the fish can swim at a maximum speed of 20ins per second. So what of future fake fish? “We want the fish to have the ability to look for its own charging station, just like a real fish looking for food,” says lead researcher Professor Huosheng Hu. At least the kids won’t have to worry about finding one of these floating belly up anytime soon.

How much would these fish cost?
How about making the robotic carp just as efficient as a living one? Isn't technology improving at the time?
By the way, please read my online articles. Just visit Google and put DENT RESISTANCE SOLAR SYSTEM or even Jeremy Keller in the search engine to locate them. I am anxious to bring them to everyone's attention and I do believe the (outgoing) UK Prime Minister has been informed about them. Furthermore, on the 23rd of March, Jo Hollis made a video of me talking about them in a studio of BBC Radio Leicester.
In theory, when approaching a gargantuan mountain of Mars, or of a mountain of any other terrestrial world for that matter, the mountain would appear to "sprout" on the horizon. Can anyone guess why? This effect would be inversely proportional to the diameter of the celestial body and directly proportional to the height of the mountain. In other words, the greater the height of the mountain and the greater the curvature of the celestial body, the greater the effect would be. This is what I call the Celestial Curvature Effect.
