This news article explains that engineers of Estonia have created a turtle robot.
The creator of this turtle robot is Taavi Salumäe. This robot has been created to help archaeologists to investigate the shipwrecks, to dive to inaccessible places too dangerous or deep for humans.
It consists of a mini robot with four independently driven flippers to make it highly manoeuvrable and it is able to swim backwards as well as forwards, travel upwards and even turn in tight spaces. It has a camera onboard and can record what it sees so video footage can later be used to reconstruct a site underwater.
The device is part of the Arrows project, which is an EU-funded project to make underwater archaeology easier. The various innovations, will be tested in the Mediterranean and the Baltic seas where devices like the underwater turtle will assist larger underwater robots to identify interesting underwater sites
I found this new on www.maildaily.com and I was very surprise when i saw it, because I think is very interesting that science and technology is advancing much in a few years.
