American scientists have created a humanoid robot that explores sunken ships at the bottom of the ocean.

The robot is equipped with tactile (touch) feedback technology, thanks to which the operator can feel the water resistance and the contours of the found artifacts. The robot also has 3D vision and eight multi-directional thrusters to help it maneuver carefully around fragile wrecks. OceanOneK has already worked on real underwater objects: it has explored the sunken Beechcraft Baron F-GDPV aircraft, the Italian steamship Le Francesco Crispi, a 2nd century Roman ship off the coast of Corsica, a World War II P-38 Lightning aircraft and the Le Protée submarine.
