Hey guys. I just read where MIT has developed an underwater robot that can hover in place just like a helicopter. It goes on to say that this is very important in deepwater oil exploration. This neww craft can dive to 6000 meters! It automatically adjusts to currents, obstacles, and anything that may cause it to move off course. This is just another example of how robots can aide society. By using this technology oil companies can obtain more detailed research of a new drill site to produce more oil. it is much more cost effective than its current mode of research. More oil= cheaper gas. Just another way that robots can shape our lives.
