Visionary oceanographer Scott Glenn leads a team of passionate and daring scientists as they race against time to launch the first autonomous underwater robot to cross the Atlantic Ocean. The robot, RU-27, is an experimental device - a modified Slocum Autonomous Underwater Gliding Vehicle - operated by Rutgers University researchers. In December 2009, RU-27 was the first robot to cross the Atlantic Ocean underwater, which took it 221 days.
