This robot could be adapted by NASA as a probe to Europa, the ice covered moon of Jupiter. Also, it occurs to me that the Seaglider is a very capable autonomous vehicle that has many Earth-side applications. Great video.
Hey, Mike, love that idea. Seagliders on Europa! I can imagine it being engineered to survive for years...
