The Typhoon robot is able to recognize under water archaeological artifacts, taking their pictures and sonar images on the basis of which scientists will create a three-dimensional reconstruction of objects

Italy, has invented a robot capable of conducting archaeological research under water. Robot "Typhoon" was developed jointly by the universities of Florence and Pisa. To create mechanical underwater archaeologist took 1.8 million euros and the efforts of about 50 scientists. 

so Far, the "Typhoon" three. They can autonomously move along the seabed, to detect underwater archaeological artifacts, taking their pictures and sonar images on the basis of which scientists are already on the ground will create a three-dimensional model objektov@

the developers hope that the new robots will help in finding, researching and protecting the cultural heritage of Italy, are at the bottom in its territorial waters. Using a mechanical underwater archaeologists will find significant and hitherto unknown aquatic complexes. Also "Typhoon", may scare away divers razgrebla of these complexes — for example, places korablekrushenie@

Robots have already sent on your first mission: must find and document in one and a half kilometres from the port of Livorno, where in the Second world at a depth of 20 meters sank warship.
