Exploring the Ocean Using Underwater Robots
Underwater robots explore parts of the deep sea too difficult or dangerous for humans to go. Capable of diving to the darkest, coldest, high pressure regions of our ocean, these technological innovations collect data and show us the organisms that inhabit these extreme enviroments. Learn about the capabilities of these vehicles and design your own tools for underwater exploration with these robot resources!
