Underwater Robot Embarks on 5-Year Mission
An underwater robot, named "Redwing", will measure water depth, temperature, and salinity, and send data back to Massachusetts scientists in near-real time.
The torpedo-shaped glider will also carry a device to detect tagged fish in the open ocean, shedding light on migration patterns of marine animals.
"The most exciting for us is to prove that you can send an autonomous vehicle almost anywhere you want under the ocean,"
Leslie Ann McGee, chief innovation officer at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, highlights the potential of this technology for studying under-sampled areas, like the Southern Ocean.
If successful, the five-year journey could open new opportunities for long-term ocean research.
Author's summary: Robot explores ocean for 5 years.
