London, May 11 (ANI): An unmanned automated boat, known as "Pinta the robot", is undergoing final preparations before setting sail in the hope of becoming the first robot to cross an ocean, namely the Atlantic, using the power of wind.
According to a report in The Times, Pinta has been designed by scientists at Aberystwyth University in UK, and will join seven other robotic craft in October in a race across the Atlantic.The race is intended to test the endurance and reliability of robots away from battery chargers and the predictable environment of a laboratory.
