Creating underwater humanoid robot

Hi all,
I am thinking about doing some humanoid robot similar to this one: evolving-science.com/intelli … loring-our
With less features than this one, but same purpose…
How much do you guyz estimate the price for some main parts?
Also, is there anyone who would like to contribute?

Sincerely,
Ian

Interesting project. Some preliminary questions:

]What prototyping tools / machinery do you have at your disposal?/:m]
]Do you have an estimated budget for the project?/:m]
]What would you consider the “purpose” of that robot to be?/:m]
]Is there any particular reason you want “humanoid” as opposed to just a simple gripper arm?/:m]
]Price comes down to how much you’re prepared to purchase versus create from scratch. There are not many similar projects to base yourself on, but a basic small ROV with thrusters and a single DoF arm is $29k commercial./:m]
Not only will you be creating complex robotic arms / grippers, but having to make them water tight to specific depths will add a lot of challenges.
