** Sevastopol State University has received over 200 million rubles for the development of a robotic diver, which can replace someone in dangerous underwater work. It was reported on Saturday by the press service of the university. **
"Sevastopol State University received 206.6 million rubles for robot development, which will replace the diver," he said. The fund is received under the federal target program "Research and development in the priority areas of developing Russian scientific and technological complex for 2014-2020."
future developments commented Alexey Kabanov, head of department of "Computer science and management in technical systems", which within three years will develop robot-diver.
Our robot to replace the risky work of a diver, he will have a manipulator - construction, similar to a human hand, the complex will be controlled by the operator, equipped with appropriate costumes, the robot will copy the movements of his hand "- leads the press service of the university quoted Kabanova.
