‘Ocean One’ is an Underwater Humanoid ROV Robot that Recovered a 17th Century Vase in the Mediterranean
I cannot fit much more awesome into a blog title, and yet this project by Stanford University students deserves so much more – including collision avoidance, haptic feedback, AI and intuition for gripping objects, and so much more. Congrats to everyone involved who not only built Ocean One but completed a successful archaeological mission in the Mediterranean – impressive!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
