This trivial bot is the Aquapod from the University of Minnesota ’s Center for Distributed Robotics . Aquapod ’s designed to crumple on country and at the derriere of bodies of water like some metal money of thrash cybernetic horseshoe crab .
Each of these waterproofed robots cost $ 2000 to build . Aquapod ’s creators trust to someday equip the golem with solar cells and autonomous scheduling so this offbeat simple machine can supervise underwater ecosystems unsupervised .
