The Story Of One Robot Gliding Across The Atlantic

I know this is supposed to be a soaring blog but I found the post on SAMAA blog and found it interesting so I followed the link and reached the story.

I reached the special project website and found the full explanation.

On May 21, 2008, ocean engineers and students from Rutgers University launched a small underwater robot off the coast of New Jersey on a mission to cross the Atlantic Ocean. While previous adventurers have used boats or planes to cross the Atlantic, this robot will make it’s way by gliding beneath the ocean’s surface. Follow along as students from the Coastal Ocean Observation Lab direct the Scarlet Knight Glider on its six-month journey.

Sounds interesting to follow.
