Could This Be The Future of Living Under Water?

Amaze Lab

This is what its developers are calling the “Sentinel”, a habitat they’re developing for life under our planet’s oceans. And, oh yeah, the whole thing is 3D printed by robots.

00:09developers are calling the sentinel a habitat they're developing for life under our planet's

00:14oceans so what's the point of this undersea endeavor here's the president of deep sean

00:18woolpert to explain what we're trying to do is allow individuals to go and be at depths of up

00:23to 200 meters for at least a month at a time and what we're trying to do is buy time raise

00:29productivity for science for research and other critical activities that occur on the seabed

00:34to happen in a more fluid and safe way he says that experts estimate some 40 to 50 percent of

00:40earth's seabed has never even been seen by human eyes that means we effectively know the surface

00:44of the moon better than we know our own planet's ocean bottoms oceans which cover 71 percent of

00:49our planet what's even wilder is that the whole thing is set to be 3d printed by robots the central

01:02format is getting six robots to work in synchronization and we can print that within nine months within
