The Wave Gliders built by Liquid Robotics hopes to set the Guinness World Record for the longest distance traveled on the surface of the Earth by a robot. These robots are autonomous and self-powered. They are designed to move by &#8220;flapping&#8221; wings that are propelled by wave action. Further more their various sensors are powered by solar.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nThey have already helped in tracking the spread of oil in the Gulf of Mexico after last year&#8217;s Deepwater Horizon disaster. The robots cost range between $140,000 and $500,000. Liquid Robotics are also offering companies the chance to rent for extensive oceanic research as a service for charges between $1,500 and $3,000 a day.<br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/1111\/22\/Liquid-Robotics-four-wave-gliders-2.php\" onclick=\"window.open(&#039;https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/1111\/22\/Liquid-Robotics-four-wave-gliders-2.php&#039;,&#039;popup&#039;,&#039;width=610,height=458,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#039;);
