Stanford University researchers have renamed their OceanOne diving robot after it reached depths of 1 km during a recent set of trials.

Now aptly dubbed OceanOneK in honor of its 1 km achievement, the diving robot has been used to explore sunken ships, planes and even submarines, giving operators the sensation that they are also interacting with these deep-water destinations.

The OceanOneK is comprised of a humanoid top half and a slimmer bottom half that features eight multi-directional thrusters to enable underwater maneuvering. Likewise, the OceanOneK also features a touch-based — or haptic — feedback system and stereoscopic vision that together create the realistic sensations of peering through the robot’s eyes and feeling with its hands.
