The University of New Orleans has been selected to receive a grant worth approximately $280,000 from the Department of Defense to buy state-of-the-art defense research equipment. The grant will be used to support an Office of Naval Research project in which UNO researchers are designing and building a new type of robotic “eel” that is capable of operating in shallow water environments where Navy personnel could be at risk.

I for one, welcome our new 3D printed eel overlords…

Seen some of the new wave generators? One version looks just like it :slight_smile: It reminds me of the MIT Pike(which apparently became a tuna): http://www.electronicsinfoline.com/Projects/Electronics/Industrial_and_Manufacturing/Robotics/mit_robot_pike_project.shtml

So this is the 3D printed future of sex toys, eh? :wink:
