Fish-controlled robot opens up a whole new world
What if Jaws could roam the land?
This free-roaming goldfish is no longer confined to four glass walls thanks to a robot designed by a team of students for the Build18 robotics tournament held at Carnegie Mellon University. Admittedly, yes, it's still in a tank, yet it looks so free!
The robot moves according to the "position of the fish relative to the middle" according to student Alex Kent's reddit post of the video.

The concept of an animal-controlled robot is also reminding a lot of people of Snuffles/Snowball from Rick and Morty, but this bewildered fish doesn't seem to be lusting after world domination quite yet.
It's kind of like being in the ocean, right? Sure.
