It has a secret agent name; it participates in missions, and it holds a world record. We’re talking about UX-1Neo, an underwater robot developed by a team of INESC TEC researchers – capable of operating autonomously and see things underwater. This robot is one example of the technologies developed by INESC TEC for underwater exploration. Make sure to hold your breath: we’re about to dive into a new episode of Science Bits!
We’re going on an expedition to the world of underwater robotics. We challenged Carlos Almeida and Eduardo Soares, INESC TEC researchers, to explain how to build a robot capable of operating autonomously, while exploring, collecting data and mapping underwater environments.
PS: Any resemblance between UX-1Neo and the technology used in the movie Prometheus is pure coincidence – or maybe, not.
