RoboTuna Series : RoboTuna II

Five years after the creation of the first RoboTuna, it reached its plateau point. Then its developers decided to end its lifecycle to give way to the newer robotic fish - the RoboTuna II.

The newer version, which was created by David Beal and Michael Sachinis, both from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), still has some features of the original version. It was designed on a cable pulley system and contains several new modifications.

The robotic fish uses a mathematical theory called genetic algorithms, which lets it learn to swim using trial and error.

Features:

• Fin driven
• Applies the genetic algorithms
• Cable-pulley system
• Force sensors placed at various locations
• Powered by servomotors
