Yeah, I really don't know what functional use they'd have for those LEDs. It seems like it's just there for aesthetics, as is this choice of music for the video and the complete lack of explanation of what they want this robot to achieve. Pure marketing fluff piece.
My guess is its because red light is less disruptive to life accustomed to dark environments and assuming there is a camera mounted on the front they need to illuminate whatever they may be looking at. Remeber this could be used at great depth where it gets pretty dark. I doubt infared night vision works underwater due to reflections on all the particals floating round in the water.
+TheChristmasCreeper The idea is that they'll develop these robots to live on the seafloor, cleaning and keeping check on undersea equipment and performing simple tasks like tightening loose valves with their clamp-like mouths.
It won’t ever become untethered if it was built to go down to places like oil rigs the designers would know radio/rc waves even at low frequency could not penetrate that deep
I love this music and video..the snake just moves so slow and majestic..and the music is very calming..I can use this for meditation :D it's so relaxing :)
They just had to give it glowing red eyes, didn't they.

+Mike Trieu (MegasChara) It's for researching the ocean floor instead of having expensive submarines n stuff
+Eric Lucas because red LEDs are much more standout against blue water background.

Hey you’ve got 69 likes! Congrats!
I like how they are starting to give character to their builds. Faces etc. It makes people connect faster.
Cybertron On Earth #confirmed
It will be interesting to see what this device can be used for when it can become fully untethered.
+TheChristmasCreeper YES I was thinking the same thing!
+TheChristmasCreeper Flexible solar panels maybe.

HowtogetShrekt™ That's one way to get Shrekt I guess =/

This is it. This is how it ends.

Looks like something straight out of Terminator with those eyes
It's a friend of the highest quality.
This thing is exactly the reason I don't swim in a swimming pool alone.
"OMG, ROBOT ATTACK! RETREAT INTO THE OCEAN!..."

More like world's most expensive fishing lure. Wouldn't surprise me a big fish eats one of these :-P

I'm guessing they'll touch on that later, this is just a prototype
