Desarrollan un robot en miniatura para aguas profundas

Científicos chinos han desarrollado un robot en miniatura para aguas profundas y lo han desplegado con éxito en la Rezumadera Fría de Haima y la Fosa de las Marianas, a profundidades de 1380 m y 10 600 m, respectivamente. Al reutilizar sus patas y aletas, el robot, resistente a la presión y de 1,5 kg, mide menos de 50 cm de altura y puede nadar, planear, transformarse y arrastrarse en las profundidades marinas, allanando el camino para la exploración marina futura.

Chinese scientists have developed a miniature deep-sea robot and successfully deployed it in the Haima Cold Seep and the Mariana Trench at depths of 1,380 m and 10,600 m, respectively. By repurposing its legs and fins, the 1.5-kg pressure-resistant robot measuring less than 50 cm in height can perform swimming, gliding, morphing, and crawling in the deep sea, paving the way for future marine exploration.
