RU-27, North Atlantic 1

Rutgers' Transatlantic 'glider'
The 1 for the ocean is a previous attempt that failed, but last April a 6 foot 120 pound robot called RU-27 left the coast of New Jersey with a mission to be the first remote controlled vehicle to traverse the Atlantic Ocean underwater.

IEEE Spectrum Radio’s Ari Daniel Shapiro reports the story of RU-27’s dramatic voyage and recovery.
