"Russian scientists have developed a flying robot specifically
designed to work on Arctic research missions. The vehicle can measure
the thickness of ice to help icebreakers, as well as detect oil
pollution.
The robot was
constructed in the Admiral G.I. Nevelskoy Maritime State
University in Vladivostok. At least 5 million rubles ($92,000)
were spent on the project.
'[We are] testing a new unique unmanned aerial vehicle, which
is designed to carry the automatic software package which
measures the thickness of ice and hydrocarbon content in
seawater,' the university said in a statement."
