we wouldn't advise driving your crossover to the bottom of the ocean. Nissan, however, is doing the next best thing by putting its Around View Monitor on seabed-crawling robots. The partnership ...

A swarm of tiny robots destined to search for life on a faraway moon recently began its journey in a swimming pool here on Earth. The SWIM robots — short for Sensing With Independent ...

It also moves in a 'mowing the lawn' pattern, running in parallel lines that overlap and cover the entire bottom to form an image of the sea floor." Robots that operate underwater face a number of ...

This means the battery eventually dies, turning the robot into deep-sea trash or forcing operators to recharge the battery on a ship. These ships are extremely expensive to run—about $50,000 per ...
