On this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast, robotics expert Oussama Khatib) takes us on a deep dive into the vagaries of creating robots that swim. His most recent project is OceanOneK, a 200-pound, humanoid robot with stereoscopic vision and opposable thumbs that can travel nearly a thousand meters below the surface. When the pressure was on, Khatib had to redesign everything he thought he knew about robots, he says, beginning with a new glass-like shell good to 6,000 PSI.
Listen as Khatib and host Russ Altman) plumb the depths of underwater robots on this installment of The Future of Everything.
