A remote-controlled humanoid or a new Jaws?<br /><br />Robotics researchers at Stanford University are developing a new way to explore the world’s oceans: a remote-controlled humanoid robot that can transmit the sense of touch to researchers sitting vast distances away.<br /><br />Named OceanOneK, the robot is an advanced version of OceanOne, which in 2016 dove 100 meters in the Mediterranean to explore a shipwreck from 1664. “OneK” reflects its ability to dive 1,000 meters.<br /><br />OceanOneK connects to a boat on the surface of the water, which has the potential to connect to the internet and allow remote users to control it. Users “feel” what the robot touches using a haptic interface.<br /><br />#robot #ocean #oceanonek #sea #jaws #humanoid #humanoidrobot
