This Fish Needs a Bicycle!

By Alex in Animals & Pets, Art, Auto & Transportation on Jul 14, 2006 at 1:02 am

That’s Seth Weiner’s art project, a vehicle called Terranaut:

"The vehicle conveys a fish-pilot, or Terranaut, in an aqueous vessel that is propelled by two drive wheels, each driven by its own highly efficient servomotor. The vehicle’s power is stored in a bank of electrical cells that deliver energy ot the motors at 36 volts.

The Terranaut swims safely in an aqueous vessel called the "cockpit" steering the vehicle with its movements. A camera above the cockpit tracks the movement of the Terranaut within the vessel. The Terranaut’s location is then wirelessly transmitted to a remote processing station, where the data is converted into motion commands and transmitted back to the motion controller on the vehicle"

    That is right out of “The Far Side”. Gary Larson would heartily approve.
