When deployed, the autonomous robot was able to seek out crown-of-thorns starfish (with 99 percent accuracy) and inject them with a chemical cocktail that causes them to break out in nasty blisters and eventually die.

The KGB of sea world.

"...it can monitor the reef for health indicators and map underwater areas, working for up to eight hours each day."

"Compared with human divers performing the same task, the Rangerbot is cheaper, more efficient and able to operate at all hours of the day and night."

So why does it only operate 8hrs of the total possible hours it could function? Must be a Union or something here.
