2A1-C07 Sea basic experiment of underwater robot to inject acetic acid into crown-of-thorns starfish

Abstract

Coral has important value. In recent year, coral of the important value is damaged. This laboratory has developed an underwater robot. This research, underwater root to clean the crown-of-thorns starfish. Underwater robot is mounted acetic acid syringe to perform the removal of starfish.
