Soft Gripper for Deep Sea Delicate Sampling [PDF]
OCEANS 2025 BrestThis article focuses on the design of a delicate sampling tool for underwater vehicles. The objective is to develop a device capable of collecting fragile samples without causing damage. Designed for deep-sea exploration at depths of up to 6000 meters, this system aims to overcome the limitations of the bucket scoop grippers currently in use.
