New Deep-Sea Robot Will Help Us Explore Oceans Throughout the Solar System​

Named for the Ancient Greek god of the Underworld, the Hadal Zone is the pitch-black part of our oceans below 6,000 meters. Now, imagine a fleet of robots able to roam freely in the parts of the ocean that have been almost impossible for humans to reach, and bring back what they see: such as lifeforms that can survive with zero sunlight, very little nutrition, under pressure that could crush a car. OceanX's research vessel #Alucia took engineers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to test a brand-new prototype that will one day explore these remote, unforgiving parts of our planet, and eventually, oceans throughout our solar system. With thanks to our partners at Bloomberg Philanthropies.

I would love to have this ROV on our boat. Do you have a cool ROV that you want to share?
If you have underwater videos from your ROV, let us see them!
