00:00These robots could help make our oceans safer and more sustainable.
00:04This manta ray robot glides through water almost silently using flexible fins.
00:09Its dolphin-inspired communication system lets it swarm with others to map the seafloor
00:14or run search missions. This autonomous penguin-shaped robot can monitor underwater
00:20infrastructure like pipelines or harbors and collect data from fragile ecosystems like coral
00:26reefs. Then there's this maritime robot designed to inspect offshore wind turbines in the UK,
00:32a risky job usually done by humans. It uses AI and 3D mapping to navigate complex offshore
00:40structures and spot components that need maintenance. Engineers plan to add robotic arms so
00:47it can perform repairs too. And at the beach, vacuum robo-dogs like this one might soon patrol the
00:53shore, spotting cigarette butts with AI and sucking them up.
