Underwater robot could help in search and rescue
One use for a robot like this is during underwater search and rescue operations. The robot modules could split up and search for survivors and recombine to lift heavy objects and open a passageway.
Underwater Robots Make Independent Decisions
Submarine robots can act independently, finding and following squid.
