Would you like to swim around the pool with a dolphin? Well, your dream might just come true because New Zealand company Edge Innovations has invented a robot dolphin that could swim around like the real-life animal.
According to The Guardian, the robotic dolphin is priced at least NZD$40 million (US$26.4 million) for an aquarium to house it. The robot dolphin can be controlled by humans via remote, and make it interact with humans just like how the real-life dolphins would.
This invention is a game-changer as people can view aquatic life through these robotic creatures, and possibly reduce the number of animals in captivity in aquariums around the world.
