TOKYO (CNN) -- Japan has reported a new leap in robot technology -- an artificial fish that looks and swims exactly like the real thing.
Scientists at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries took four years to develop the robotic fish, for use in the popular fish farms where Japanese like to practice their angling skills.
The silicone sea bream created by Mitsubishi weighs 2 1/2 kilograms (5.5 pounds), is about half-a-meter long (half-a- yard) and can swim for up to 30 minutes before its battery needs recharging. Some observers have said the robotic fish is so lifelike that only close inspection of its mechanical eye gives it away.
