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. This minimised the impact of the ecosystem and keeps pollution low. The technology is expected to be applicable to the exploration of the Martian polar ice-caps.

NASA Robot Melts Arctic Ice in Test

The LA Times is also running a similar story on the subject: <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/science/wire/sns-ap-glacier-robot0114jan14.story?coll=sns-ap-science-headlines">NASA

Robot Melts Arctic Ice in Test</a> The robot is compared to a hot
iron against the ice, and that's pretty much it... however, they do
mention the homepage for the
project.
