Deep Green, the robot that plays pool
This robot is able to both place the balls and shoot them in the right holes afterwards.
The same deveplopment team has also made some kind of augmented reality, where they use laser beams to show the possible paths of the pool balls you are about to hit. Watch the video to see a demonstration.
This pool-playing robot was developed at Vision lab in Queens University.

For your aquarium? The Robotic fish
A robot fish that looks very life-like – at least from a distance.
It was developed at Essex University and funded by the London Aquarium Limited.
The aim of the project is to design and build robotic fishes with features such as fish-swimming behaviour, autonomously navigating ability, cartoon-like appearance that is not-existed in the real world.
