Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 46, No. 2, Pg. 23:
WHOI engineers built three new vehicles to search for hydrothermal vents beneath the Arctic Ocean. The first two are sleek, torpedo-shaped, free-swimming robots called Puma and Jaguar (pictured here). Once the CTD provides a rough idea of where a plume is, Puma is deployed through a hole in the ice and programmed to conduct missions on its own, said WHOI engineer Hanu Singh with MIT /WHOI graduate student Clay Kunz, right.

Jaguar autonomous underwater vehicle as it hovers above the deck of the icebreaker Oden during the Arctic Gakkel Vents Expedition (AGAVE) in the summer of 2007. Singh and colleagues developed the vehicle specifically for deep-ocean dives beneath the ice cover of the Arctic Ocean.

WHOI Scientist Hanumant Singh (left) and graduate student Clayton Kunz steady a SeaBED autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) as it is hoisted above the deck of the icebreaker Oden during the Arctic Gakkel Vents Expedition (AGAVE) in the summer of 2007. Singh and his colleagues developed the vehicle specifically for deep-ocean dives beneath the ice cover of the Arctic Ocean and, on this cruise, equipped it to search for hydrothermal vents. Once water samples confirmed chemical signs of hydrothermal activity, the team programmed one of two SeaBED vehicles to conduct a detailed search of the seafloor nearby.
