Thank you for your interest in our work. As stated in the introduction, our solution offers versatility for use in ex situ and in situ nurseries and can potentially be applied directly to the reef. Its primary use is in nurseries to accelerate growth via MAT, followed by transplantation to the reef.

Electrically Conductive and Recyclable Biocomposite Coatings for Robotic Grippers and Touch Sensors Sustainable robotics can reduce robot environmental impact by optimizing wear-prone components, such as grippers and touch sensors, with recyclable materials and low-energy manufacturing. Electricall...

Can we make #robotics more #sustainable, without losing performance? We replaced wear-prone parts like #grippers and touch sensors with #recyclable alternatives, using #conductive #coatings that sense #pressure and touch.
