Autonomous underwater robot discovers hidden coral reef 'hotspots'
Researchers have developed an autonomous system for seeking out and mapping hotspots of biodiversity on coral reefs with unprecedented precision, offering a powerful new tool for studying and protecting some of the ocean's most valuable ecosystems. The work, published in Science Robotics, demonstrates how combining audio and visual data in a single autonomous system can reveal where marine life concentrates and why.
