Seascout, a prototype robot from New Zealander Andre Harley, is designed to rescue folks at sea.

The robot is designed to scoop up stranded folks in the water. It can be manually deployed or guided via GPS and contains a two way radio along with lights.

Seascout does contain a small motor on each side, but no word on how it actually moves through big waves. We wouldn’t want stranded folks to become shark food thanks to a propeller blade now would we?
