In World First, Underwater Robot To Chase Magellanâs 500-Year-Old Round-The-World Voyage Time | IFLScience
Added: Oct 12, 2025In A World First, Autonomous Underwater Robot Sets Off On Mission To Circumnavigate The Globe
Site: IFLScience
Godspeed, Redwing, and good luck.
A robot has just set off on its mission to complete the first-ever global circumnavigation with an autonomous underwater vehicle. The self-gliding sub launched on the morning of October 10 from the docks of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, where it will go on to ride the Gulf Stream across the Atlantic Ocean. Its journey will echo the route taken by the Magellan Expedition between 1519 and 1522, the first known circumnavigation of the Earth, which headed from Spain, sailed to the Canary Islands, crossed the Atlantic Ocean to South America, passed through the Strait of Magellan at the southern tip of the continent, crossed the Pacific Ocean, reached the Philippines and the Spice Islands (Moluccas), and returned to Spain via the Indian Ocean, around the Cape of Good Hope in southern Africa. Its first major stop will be Gran Canaria in Spainâs Canary Islands, followed by Cape Town at the southern tip of Africa. From there, it will cross the Indian Ocean to Western Australia, then continue to New Zealand. It will then navigate the Antarctic Circumpolar Current below the tip of South America, taking it on its longest leg to the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic. From there, it may stop in Brazil and the Caribbean before heading back to the US East Coast. The total journey is expected to take more than five years, covering roughly 73,000 kilometers (about 45,000 miles) at an average speed of 0.75 knots. Developed by Teledyne Marine and Rutgers UniversityâNew Brunswick, the Slocum Sentinel Glider â aka âRedwingâ â represents a new generation of ocean robotics. Dubbed âthe most advanced commercial subsea glider ever built,â itâs designed to travel vast distances while consuming minimal energy. âRedwingâ being lowered into the sea during an earlier test journey. Image credit: Teledyne Marine Unlike traditional submarines, Redwing won't fully rely on propellers or engines. Instead, it glides through the water using gravity and buoyancy, âsurfingâ ocean currents rather than resisting them. By subtly adjusting its buoyancy, the glider moves forward in slow, graceful dives and ascents. However, itâs equipped with a dual-thruster system, including a propeller, to help it push through strong currents when necessary, plus lithium battery packs that power all of the gliderâs systems. The battery system will also help to power all the exciting tech that's onboard. Throughout its long journey, Redwing will collect continuous data on salinity, depth, and temperature, building what scientists describe as a âthree-dimensional view of the ocean.â This information could sharpen forecasts of hurricane formation, reveal how climate change is reshaping ocean systems, and offer clues about the health of marine ecosystems. Every eight to 12 hours, the torpedo-like sub will surface to beam back real-time data via satellite. Itâs also equipped with a fish-tracking system capable of detecting tagged marine animals, potentially providing unprecedented glimpses into their long-distance migrations across the open ocean. Not only will the mission provide scientists with a huge amount of high-quality data, itâs also being used as a tool to teach dozens of undergraduate students who will closely follow Redwingâs progress. âThis is a historic moment for ocean science,â said mission co-leader Scott Glenn, a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences in the Rutgers School of Environmental and Biological Sciences in a statement sent to IFLScience. âWeâre deploying a robot that will travel the worldâs oceans, gathering data. And weâre doing it with students, educators, and international collaborators every step of the way.â Of course, all of this relies on Redwing completing its voyage. Over the next five years, the autonomous sub will face numerous challenges, from dodging fishing nets and navigating busy shipping lanes to withstanding some of the oceanâs harshest conditions. Success is far from guaranteed, but the team is confident in their skills and the gliderâs capabilities. Godspeed, Redwing, and good luck. Correction 10/10/2025: This article originally misstated the route of the Magellan Expedition in the 16th century. It has been updated to accurately describe the expeditionâs route.

Scientists at Skoltech developed a new mathematical model of memory that explores how information is encoded and stored. Their analysis suggests that memory works best in a seven-dimensional conceptual space â equivalent to having seven senses. The finding implies that both humans and AI might benefit from broader sensory inputs to optimize learning and recall.
