it was a dedicated mission to take technology to the absolute limits and
technology to the absolute limits and
technology to the absolute limits and then destroy it
those guys got to be careful I don’t
those guys got to be careful I don’t think we can get much closer to a big
think we can get much closer to a big
think we can get much closer to a big seismic event underwater than this we
seismic event underwater than this we
seismic event underwater than this we were at kavagi a couple years ago and we
were at kavagi a couple years ago and we
were at kavagi a couple years ago and we found sharks living in the crater of the
found sharks living in the crater of the
found sharks living in the crater of the volcano which is really wild because
volcano which is really wild because
volcano which is really wild because it’s one of the most active submarine
it’s one of the most active submarine
it’s one of the most active submarine volcanoes in the world once you find
volcanoes in the world once you find
volcanoes in the world once you find that it’s like we’re in we got we got a
that it’s like we’re in we got we got a
that it’s like we’re in we got we got a lot more to check out
lot more to check out
lot more to check out [Music]
we’re going to the volcano to blow up
we’re going to the volcano to blow up robots they measure things like water
robots they measure things like water
robots they measure things like water temperature co2 pH but sometimes it’s
temperature co2 pH but sometimes it’s
temperature co2 pH but sometimes it’s just fun to blow stuff up isn’t it these
just fun to blow stuff up isn’t it these
just fun to blow stuff up isn’t it these robots are designed to be as simple as

PVC sewer pipe yeah that was found in
PVC sewer pipe yeah that was found in the village and then you just kind of
the village and then you just kind of
the village and then you just kind of put some relatively fancy electronics on
put some relatively fancy electronics on
put some relatively fancy electronics on to that and whammo you have an
to that and whammo you have an
to that and whammo you have an autonomous boat so as we get closer to
autonomous boat so as we get closer to
autonomous boat so as we get closer to Karachi we see things like Barracuda
Karachi we see things like Barracuda
Karachi we see things like Barracuda dogfish tuna rainbow Runner and then
dogfish tuna rainbow Runner and then
dogfish tuna rainbow Runner and then also the Sharks that are swimming in and
also the Sharks that are swimming in and
also the Sharks that are swimming in and out you start asking why they go in
out you start asking why they go in
out you start asking why they go in there in the first place
there in the first place
there in the first place do they sense an eruption and then get
do they sense an eruption and then get
do they sense an eruption and then get out of there or are they just caught up
out of there or are they just caught up
out of there or are they just caught up in and blown up in the air chances are
in and blown up in the air chances are
in and blown up in the air chances are not but really it’s an open question
not but really it’s an open question
not but really it’s an open question Morgan is one of our guides and he’s the
Morgan is one of our guides and he’s the
Morgan is one of our guides and he’s the highest respected navigator in that
highest respected navigator in that
highest respected navigator in that region and we’re watching the volcano
region and we’re watching the volcano
region and we’re watching the volcano and out of nowhere he just kind of
and out of nowhere he just kind of
and out of nowhere he just kind of quietly says I’m ready for the big one
quietly says I’m ready for the big one
quietly says I’m ready for the big one within 10 seconds of him saying that a
within 10 seconds of him saying that a
within 10 seconds of him saying that a volcano I’ll do the biggest eruption of
volcano I’ll do the biggest eruption of
volcano I’ll do the biggest eruption of the day Morgan somehow this is the bossy
the day Morgan somehow this is the bossy
the day Morgan somehow this is the bossy one

but it’s fast on recording can you take
but it’s fast on recording can you take a photo yeah what just happened
a photo yeah what just happened
a photo yeah what just happened well one of the greatest things in
well one of the greatest things in
well one of the greatest things in marine science just witnessed the
marine science just witnessed the
marine science just witnessed the world’s first blowing up of a robots
world’s first blowing up of a robots
world’s first blowing up of a robots from a volcano we swooped in to pick up
from a volcano we swooped in to pick up
from a volcano we swooped in to pick up the robot kind of looks like a mess but
the robot kind of looks like a mess but
the robot kind of looks like a mess but it was a beautiful mess and it collected
it was a beautiful mess and it collected
it was a beautiful mess and it collected samples there’s pieces of hot ash there
samples there’s pieces of hot ash there
samples there’s pieces of hot ash there they’re sticking into the robot right
they’re sticking into the robot right
they’re sticking into the robot right now that was hot melted lava just a few
now that was hot melted lava just a few
now that was hot melted lava just a few minutes ago we’re going to take these
minutes ago we’re going to take these
minutes ago we’re going to take these samples and we’re going to give it to
samples and we’re going to give it to
samples and we’re going to give it to one of the leading submarine
one of the leading submarine
one of the leading submarine volcanologists in the world and it’s
volcanologists in the world and it’s
volcanologists in the world and it’s going to be the freshest piece of Earth
going to be the freshest piece of Earth
going to be the freshest piece of Earth he’s ever held in his hands you’re gonna
he’s ever held in his hands you’re gonna
he’s ever held in his hands you’re gonna get much fresher than that we’re in the
get much fresher than that we’re in the
get much fresher than that we’re in the midst of a robotic Renaissance the parts
midst of a robotic Renaissance the parts
midst of a robotic Renaissance the parts that are required to make robots move
that are required to make robots move
that are required to make robots move and perceive their environment are
and perceive their environment are
and perceive their environment are getting cheaper and cheaper and more
getting cheaper and cheaper and more
getting cheaper and cheaper and more accessible that’s really when the big
