U-CAT: The robotic sea turtle for the exploration of shipwrecks

 Valuable assistance to the archaeologists and researchers of the seabed is expected to offer a new robotic turtle the U-CAT, mostly in places that are either too deep or too dangerous for humans.

 The robotic turtle has 4 blades that allow movement in all directions, camera to record and convey it's findings to the land also it's autonomous which means it can sail in deep waters without being limited by cables.

 Shortly the turtle should be able to explore shipwrecks in the Baltic Sea and the Mediterranean Sea under the program ARROWS of the European Union.
