Jarrod Jablonski, Director of Deep Dive Dubai, emphasized the significance of OceanOne K’s capabilities, stating, “The OceanOne K’s ability to seamlessly interact with its surroundings sets a new benchmark for underwater robotics and opens up innovative avenues for research and discovery. At Deep Dive Dubai, we firmly believe that diving is not just a sport but a spirit of exploration that ignites our collective imagination. We encourage individuals to push their limits and dive into new depths, both figuratively and literally. Our facility embodies this ethos, equipped with cutting-edge technology, fostering an environment where innovation thrives.”
What sets OceanOne K apart is its haptic (touch-based) feedback system and stereoscopic vision, which create an incredibly realistic sensory experience akin to actual diving. When an operator uses controls to guide OceanOne K, the robot’s haptic feedback system enables the person to physically feel the underwater environment, including details such as the contours of ancient artifacts.
