"Back in April, Stanford University professor Oussama Khatib led a team
of researchers on an underwater archaeological expedition, 30 kilometers
off the southern coast of France, to La Lune, King Louis XIV’s sunken
17th-century flagship. Rather than dive to the site of the wreck 100
meters below the surface, which is a very bad idea for almost everyone,
Khatib’s team brought along a custom-made humanoid submarine robot
called Ocean One."
