                      In order to accelerate the search for new life in the deep sea, a collaborative group of roboticists, ocean engineers, bioengineers, and marine and molecular biologists has successfully proven how new technologies can efficiently collect high-resolution 3D images and preserved tissue of deep sea animals. Their findings represent five years of work. The group have shown that it is possible to shave years from the process of determining whether a new or rare species has been discovered.
