Russia creates underwater "diver" robot
Russian engineers from Sevastopol State University (SevSU) talked about creating an Android robot for the purpose of studying the seabed.
Experts plan to apply remote control method with exoskeleton in the design, thus giving the robot a human-like shape.
In the future, scientists plan to develop another similar robot, but without using a human driver, using artificial intelligence.

The first model of an android robot was controlled by a remote exoskeleton: the person at the base was placed in the exoskeleton and all his body movement signals were transmitted to the robot.
The authors of the project explain that in the process of developing the new robot, they will try to teach the android to make independent decisions, incorporate AI algorithms into it, as well as improve the technology of technical vision, making it possible not only to see, but also to analyze what is observed.
Robots that operate underwater are not uncommon in the world of modern robotics. Such devices are needed to reduce human workload in complex and dangerous environments, for example, deep underwater.
Accordingly, robots will be able to participate in building bridges and other underwater structures, exploring the depths of the sea, carrying out rescue operations and maintaining underground pipelines.
