01 ROBOSEA ROBO-SHARK

This underwater drone (see previous page) not only looks like a shark (and, at 7ft 2in in length, it is the size of one), it also moves like a shark.

At around 165lb it’s pretty hefty, but it does have automatic obstacle avoidance and a multi-joint caudal fin that reduces water noise.
