The robo carp from Ryomei Engineering

We're fairly sure any fear we have of this robot carp doesn't come from its residence in any sort of "uncanny valley," but merely the resemblance it bears to a large majority of Power Rangers villains. In any case, what this 31-inch "Nishiki koi carp" bot from Hiroshima does do is analyze water quality, shoot pictures with its CCD camera, and swim around in a life-like manner via remote control. Apparently the bot is the fifth in a series of robo-fish from Ryomei Engineering, so we look forward to the next iteration, whatever creepy manifestation of aquatic life that might be.
