Aquatic robot

Researchers at McGill University’s Center for Intelligent Machines, have unveiled a new underwater robot called the Aqua with six individually controlled flippers for getting around. Because each flipper on the robot can be controlled independently, it’s able to remain silently in place while underwater and record what’s going on around it without causing a disturbance, something that can’t be done with undersea robots that use propellers or jets.
