Developed by British scientists with a cost of $30,000 each, the Robot Fish are designed to head out into the open water, take in data about water pollutants, return to a charging station about every 8 hours and while charging, submit data about water quality.  The Robot fish comes in 1.5 meters long and they can navigate independently without any human interaction. They will transmit the information back to shore using Wi-Fi technology. Video demo after the jump
