What is the potential impact of robotics on ocean exploration and marine research, and how do robots assist scientists in tasks such as deep-sea exploration, underwater mapping, or coral reef monitoring to study biodiversity, oceanography, and geological phenomena in marine environments?

Robotics revolutionizes ocean exploration by deploying robots for tasks such as underwater mapping, habitat surveying, and marine sampling. Robots equipped with sensors, cameras, and sampling tools collect data on marine ecosystems, geological features, and ocean dynamics, enabling scientists to study biodiversity, monitor environmental changes, and discover new species or underwater resources in remote and inaccessible regions of the ocean.
