Homeland Security Funds Robot Tuna

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has decided to purchase a new robotic device used for underwater surveillance that looks and moves like a big yellow tuna fish.

According to the Boston Engineering Corporation, the device can be utilized for missions such as patrolling harbors, exploring damaged or wrecked ships, and inspecting tankers.

The Navy has its seals, and now Homeland Security has its tuna. Shouldn't be long before we hear about the Army's new robot groundhogs.

  1. That's probably not like 'Robot Chicken', huh?

  2. Haven't seen Robot Chicken before, but since the government is paying for Robot Tuna I would guess there's a few extra billion involved in production.
