Autonomous Deep-Sea Robots to Lead New Search for Missing Flight MH370

SMRTR summary

Malaysia is restarting the search for missing Flight MH370 using advanced autonomous underwater robots that can map the ocean floor at depths up to 6,000 meters. Texas-based Ocean Infinity will deploy swarms of these vehicles to scan 15,000 square kilometers of the southern Indian Ocean starting December 30, with Malaysia paying up to $70 million only if substantial wreckage is found.
