摘要

USA-based Houston Mechatronics has announced its "revolutionary" new subsea robot, Aquanaut. The company said the multipurpose robot employs a patented shape-shifting transformation from an AUV to an ROV, removing the need for vessels and tethers. The vehicle enables both the efficient collection of data over long distances as well as manipulation of subsea objects at a significantly lower cost than today's technology, according to the firm.
