Controlled by Underwater Tablets Show Off their Swimming Skills
The New Scientist has some great new video of our flippered friends.
The Aqua robots can be used in hard-to-reach spots like coral reefs, shipwrecks or caves.
Though the diver remains at at a safe distance, he can see everything the robot sees. Check out this robot’s-eye-view of a swimming pool.
Aqua robots are controlled by tablet computers encased in a waterproof shell. Motion sensors can tell how the waterproofed computer is tilted, and the robot moves in the same direction, New Scientist reports.
As we wrote earlier this summer, tablet-controlled robots working in concert with human divers would be much easier to command than undersea robots controlled from a ship. Plus, they just look so cute.
