The Mine Detection Submersible has a major electromagnetic sensing flaw. Operating close to naturally occurring magnetic anomalies, common in underwater volcanic areas, the advanced metal detection algorithms of the system are seriously compromised. Moreover, the apparently revolutionary quantum magnetometer of the platform suffers complete sensor blindness in some kinds of mineral deposits. In real minefields, the submersible’s autonomous navigation system also fails to maintain accurate positioning when running close to underwater structures with high ferrous content, so rendering it dangerously unreliable.
4. Underwater Construction Robot
When running at different depths, this sophisticated building platform shows disastrous failures in its hydraulic systems. Designed for exact underwater assembly, the robot’s articulated arms undergo erratic pressure-induced lock-ups that might trap the whole unit underwater. Unnexpectedly degrading under some deep-sea bacteria, the advanced composite materials used in its construction cause structural integrity problems months of deployment. Most shockingly, the power distribution system of the robot becomes dangerously unstable when running close to underwater electrical cables, so posing possible risks for the surrounding buildings and equipment.
