There are a lot of fish in the sea, but none quite like Charlie the Tuna. Charlie is a 52-inch, 2843-part robotic tuna with an advanced propulsion system that any real-life, fin-and-bones fish would be proud to possess.
Charlie was designed by a team of graduate students and researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass., to help them study the fundamental fluid mechanics of how fish swim and to evaluate control circuits and sensors for ocean-based autonomous-vehicle applications. The MIT group plans to put Charlie to work exploring the deep blue sea for months at a time, mapping the ocean floor and detecting underwater pollution.
