See moreThe mermaid-like remote-controlled robot "Ocean One" took on its first ocean exploration challenge. It approached a Louis XIV-era ship that sank in the Mediterranean Sea in the mid-17th century and recovered artifacts at a depth of 100 meters. A human on board remotely controlled the robot while receiving feedback from force sensors. It is expected that the robot will also explore deep oceans that are impossible for human divers to dive into. (April 2016)
