a robot anchovy with optional human remote control to shoal with the rest of them [realistic from the fish's point of veiw] and then switch on the remote and send it swimming in an unexpected direction and disrupt the fish, or perhaps move to the middle and move as a predator
then watch what chaos
follows

Wouldn't this idea be better used to shoal anchovies into a net? For fishing... though every now and then someone might end up with a robot anchovey on their pizza. |

technobadger! I would love to see this concept broadened to the world of social behavior. A robo-cultist which follows along with cult behavior to a point and then suddenly becomes nonconformist, for instance. |

There was a similar simulation of birds' flocking behaviour, using virtual birds called 'boids', possibly the best indication that researchers often have a well-developed sense of humour. |

Thoity doity boids, sittin' on a coib, choipin' and boipin', eatin' doity oithwoims... |

Maybe it's just my weird body chemistry, but I find real anchovies to have kind of a metallic aftertaste. |

All the mercury contamination... |

Imagine a robotic humpback whale... |

Robotic Rock Groupie at the stadium concert Toying with the shoals of humans in the audience. Smoke, Mirrors, Bright lights and so on. |

I like the idea but I wish you had fleshed it our with a
description of schooling behavior, and perhaps the
application of high explosives. Have a fish flavored bun. |
