SoFi, the robotic fish that can observe marine life up-close – VIDEO

A tool for marine life research has been tested in the Rainbow Reef – SoFi, the soft robotic fish. MIT developed the artificially intelligent device for monitoring and studying real fish in the ocean.

The animals are apparently not disturbed by SoFi which can help explore the reef more closely than humans or other robots.
