Robot Dives 1.5 Miles, Maps French Shipwreck With 86,000 Images And Recovers Artifacts Authored by Neetika Walter via Interesting Engineering, A remotely operated robot has retrieved artifacts from a 16th-century shipwreck more than 1.5 miles beneath the Mediterranean, offering a glimpse into how precision deep-sea robotics is transforming underwater exploration. Guided from a support vessel above, the system used camera-fed navigation and robotic pincers to maneuver across fragile debris fields, capture high-resolution imagery, and recover centuries-old objects without disturbing the surrounding site. ROV C 4000 remotely operated vehicle designed for deep-sea missions...
