Overview

Jessiko began in 2005 as Christophe Tiraby's project and became Robotswim in 2009. The V5 was the first series-produced version, deployed as a permanent school of robot fish at the France Pavilion of Expo 2012 in Yeosu. It is marketed as a luxury decoration and event attraction for hotels, museums and shopping centres, with schools of up to 50 fish tested. Robotswim's website still offers Jessiko Fantasy (event shows), Jessiko Live (permanent installations) and a research version, though it gives no prices or recent dates.
