(1) Robots find missing bodies
A team of underwater robots (or AUV) played a critical role recently in locating wreckage and missing bodies from an air disaster that occurred almost two years ago in the Atlantic Ocean. Bodies and debris were found off the coast of a South American country.

(3) Human-like robots

It's so real, it's scary. From a scolding teacher robot to an incredibly realistic man-bot (who is it built to look like?), scientists are creating mechanical devices that can eerily mimic human behavior and speak several languages. Remember this realistic bot?
