autonomous robotic rover help scientist
The sheer expanse of the deep sea and the technological challenges of working in an extreme environment make these depths difficult to access and study. Scientists know more about the surface of the moon than the deep seafloor. The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) is leveraging advancements in robotic technologies to address this disparity. An autonomous robotic rover, Benthic Rover II, has provided new insight into life on the abyssal seafloor, 4,000 m beneath the surface of the ocean. A study published in Science Robotics details the development and proven long-term operation of this rover.
