Ice Melting Robot
There's an interesting article over on New Scientist entitled Ice-Melting Robot Passes Arctic Test. It discusses a new NASA robot that is designed to gather and process subsurface ocean data. To do this, it often is required to bury itself into the ice; this is done by hot water to dig a hole, which seals itself right behind the robot.
