A humanoid robotic diver has been created. "Measuring about 5-feet from head to 'tail,' the robot's stereoscopic 'eyes' allow the pilot to view deep into the ocean without entering the water. Its 'fins' provide ample storage space for batteries, computers, and the eight multi-directional thrusters that help keep the robot stable in turbulent waters. Also, unlike traditional ROV's, OceanOne's electronics are waterproofed with oil rather than being encased inside a rigid case. This simple design improvement prevents the electronics from buckling under the water pressure and enables the robot mermaid to reach depths of up to 2,000 meters without collapsing."
"Smart algorithms enable the mermaid robot to avoid collisions and, with some help from the pilot, even use its hands to 'swim' when stuck in a tight spot. If a crash is unavoidable, the humanoid robot can soften the impact by stretching out its arm. Since OceanOne is able to communicate with human divers through hand-gestures, it also makes a useful diving companion."
