One big propeller at the top of this robot helps it operate like a helicopter.
This robot, the Sea-Saw, has a V-shaped frame.
Two students pose with their robot, The Winged Avenger.
Teams of students prepare their robots for an exploratory mission.
Buoys, constructed in Lab 1, help robots achieve neutral buoyancy.
Weights, foam blocks, and buoys are attached to different parts of the robot to balance out the motors, lights, and other components.
The robots receive instructions and transmit data through a long tether cable.
Sensors and other electronics are sealed inside buoys for protection from the water.
An instrumented buoy is attached and connected to the tether cable.
Before diving, students test the steering at the surface.
Students control the robots from the dock.
