ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

RoboTuna

Hey kiddo! Have you ever seen a fish? Well, a robotuna is like a fish that is made by people and not by nature. It is a robot that looks like a tuna fish!

Now, these robotunas are very clever, they have sensors and cameras that help them swim around in the water just like a real fish! They can even change their direction and speed just like a real fish does. Isn't that amazing?

The robotuna has a battery or power source that helps it move around for a long time without getting tired. It also has a special device called a sonar that helps it find objects in the water, just like how dolphins use echolocation.

Scientists made robotunas to study the ocean and the marine life there. They can go deep into the ocean where it's hard and dangerous for humans to go. They can observe things like coral reefs or underwater mines and it helps us understand the ocean better.

So, the basic idea is that robotunas are like fish robots that help us learn more about the ocean and explore things that are hard to reach for humans. Pretty cool, huh?
