UM-Bot Posted April 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Scientists have been using a diving robot to recover valuables from a famous 17th century shipwreck. Known as OceanOne, the remarkable robot can be operated remotely using a sophisticated array of instruments and control mechanisms including cameras, haptic force feedback and two robotic arms that can enable an operator to move and manipulate objects on the sea floor with great precision.

Codenwarra Posted April 30, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Good work. I can see the point of the stereo vision and the two arms. One problem is that there are many places that the robot can snag on a wrecked ship or even a lump of coral. Time for an extensive redesign of the body I think, and to do a bit of streamlining while they are at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In teh linked full article they tel the story that on its first "real dive" it did get stuck but was able to use its arms to do a push-up type of escape, something a normal undersea remotely controlled vehicle couldn't do.
