OceanOne - the humanoid divers robot of Stanford University researchers

OceanOne is a new model robot model of researchers from Stanford University (USA), with the ability to dive hundreds of meters below the ocean floor, serving jobs that people cannot perform.

During the first test, OceanOne accomplished its mission excellently, when swimming to the wreck of the wreck and taking an old vase from it. It is known that the ship was La Lune - flagship under King Louis XIV (France), sunk in 1664. The wreck of the wreck at a depth of 100 meters, has not been disturbed until 2 weeks ago. , when the aforementioned robot performs its assigned mission.

OceanOne is remotely controlled through special equipment, by computer science professor, Mr. Oussama Khatib. Sitting in a boat on the water, he used a tactile joystick to control the movement of robots under the seabed. Khatib argues that combining human skills with powerful robotic structures, will change the future of underwater exploration.

"People can provide robots with intuition, expertise and awareness. Robots can work in areas that are too dangerous for humans , " Professor Khatib said. The difficulty for humans lies in the supply of air and the danger of hypotension. However, OceanOne's success shows that it can replace people, extend the time of ocean exploration, and increase the limited depth before now.

In addition to the 2 cameras that act as "observing" eyes, OceanOne's hands are also equipped with sensors, giving the operator a feature called tactile feedback. That is, when ordering the robot to grasp something up through the joystick, you will feel how heavy, light it is, how hard or thin it is."You can feel exactly what robots do , " said Oussama Khatib, said. "As if you were there, with the senses created in a completely new sense of perception." In the future, scientists will seek to increase the " sensitivity" of these sensors, in order to give operators on the shore more accurate feelings about the object they touch remotely.
