The rangerbot is an underwater drone developed by the Queensland University of Technology, supported by Google. It's designed to protect the Great Barrier Reef from threats like the crown-of-thorns starfish. Equipped with computer vision technology, it monitors reef health, maps underwater areas, and can eliminate killer starfish with 99% accuracy using a fatal injection. The goal is to make this technology available globally to aid reef communities.
Fascinating.
