New record of autonomous robot from Liquid Robotics: 16668 kilometers

On Habré, autonomous floating robots have already been mentioned several times, in the amount of four pieces sent on a journey by Liquid Robotics. These robots have repeatedly set all sorts of records, and now one of them set a new record: 16,668 kilometers (9,000 nautical miles) without human intervention. This robot has reached the end point of its journey.

Recently, by the way, Habré wrote about one of the robots of this group, Mercury, who could even withstand the impact of Hurricane Sandy (you can read about the structure of the robot at this link). At the same time, the robot was located in the very epicenter of the hurricane, taking readings. The whole group of four "participants" began their swim and San Francisco. At first, the robots sailed by one group, then split into two: two robots sailed to Japan, the second - to the east coast of Australia.

Once again I will post a video of a floating robot:



By the way, the record was set by the robot, whose “name” is Papa Mau. He has already completed his mission, sailed to Australia and now deservedly resting.



Now the company Liquid Robotics is going to continue oceanographic research, performing the main work with the help of robots. In general, it remains only to admire the work of engineers who were able to create such a reliable design.
