                 Underwater Research


                 The main objective of underwater research is primarily on a safer and cleaner future for our oceans.
                 Underwater robots are helpful in bringing ecological balance in the ocean. Humanoid robots will
                 soon replace human divers in carrying out deep or dangerous ocean research and engineering tasks.
                 Shipwreck Robots search the wrecked ships like Titanic, etc. Deep Trekker drone is controlled by a
                 video-link handset that can be operated from the surface or by a diver in the water.





















                   In 2009, the robotic underwater glider Scarlet Knight successfully traversed the Atlantic Ocean
                   over several months.
