  • Another cabled up robot. Oh, well.

  • I can't say if I've seen an experimental underwater robot that didn't have a tether of some sort. I've seen a few "glider" types and other in final application that are not cabled. But personally, I'd rather be able to drag something I've been experimenting on back, rather then dive in after it if my code failed.

  • The robot's cable is a temp. It flies without the cable, using a camera and other sensors, as it is truly autonomous. It's fast and light, and maneuverable, not like the massive, slower MIT bot, which is playing catch-up. Madeline has also been to sea, as in the Ocean, and can crawl onshore. Madeline rocks.

  • Hmm. It's in a pool, with somebody underwater doing the filming. Not too far to chase the thing if it goes bonkers. Also, notice the aspect change in its controlled path? If it is meant to go either aspect then it surely must be designed to go tetherless.

    If they are running it off of an emulator or other ICE development system then I can see the cable. If its actual smarts are on an external machine then it's just an expensive toy.
