The seabed contains large quantities of valuable minerals and metals that are urgently needed for modern technologies such as electric cars and wind turbines. However, discovering these deposits has so far been complicated. Diving robots use grippers to take samples, which are then analyzed onboard a research vessel. An innovative method is now opening up new possibilities for more environmentally friendly exploration of our oceans.
