Can Robots Save the Earth?

Click on this link to watch a short video about "Sea Swarm."

Does this sound possible, or does it sound more like a science fiction movie?

Watch the video again, then answer these questions.

• How much of an oil spill can workers (people) clean up and remove using the current methods?
• How much can these new robots clean up?
• How do the robots "talk" to each other?

Now write a short paragraph talking about your thoughts and feelings about this project. Do you have any ideas of how this kind of technology can be used to solve other problems?
