Oceangoing drone manufacturer Oshen has collected data from inside a Category 5 hurricane at sea for the first time.

The C-Stars robots can operate in swarms and survive at sea for up to 100 days at a time.

They are relatively cheap but smart enough to collect useful environmental data.

The achievement means that the robots can now help improve weather prediction models.
