Marine Sediment Sampling With an Underwater Legged Robot: A User-Driven Sampling Approach for Microplastic Analysis

April 5, 2024 by Anna Astolfi, Mrudul Chellapurath, Giacomo Picardi, Martina Capriotti, Kayla Mladinich, Cecilia Laschi, Sergio Stefanni, Marcello Calisti

In this work we present a novel system for marine sediment sampling aimed at microplastic (MP) assessment studies. The system is composed of a medium-sized underwater legged robot (ULR) equipped with a customized sampler consisting of a grab mounted on an underactuated mechanism. The system was developed following the requirements of marine biologists actively involved in MP … [Read more...] about Marine Sediment Sampling With an Underwater Legged Robot: A User-Driven Sampling Approach for Microplastic Analysis
