RangerBot Autonomous Robotic Reef Protector

Meet the RangerBot: an autonomous underwater robot designed to navigate complex coral reefs. It comes with real-time computer vision tech to get the job done and detect crown-of-thorns starfish. The robot can identify COTs with 99.4% accuracy and fire off injections to kill them without harming the reef.

The RangerBot AUV simply gives researchers and coral reef managers hands and eyes in the water.
