Original: How Stanford Built a Humanoid Submarine Robot to Explore a 17th-Century Shipwreck

Stanford researchers have built a humanoid submarine robot, a diver-like machine with human-like arms and vision designed to work at depths too dangerous for people. It is being used to explore and document a 17th-century shipwreck, performing delicate tasks underwater. IEEE Spectrum detailed the engineering behind the project, drawing attention to its potential for underwater archaeology.

Why now: The blend of advanced humanoid robotics and maritime archaeology is a striking technical achievement drawing fresh coverage.
