Abstract
Robotic systems that can explore the sea floor, collect marine samples, gather shallow water refuse, and perform other underwater tasks are interesting and important in several fields, from biology and ecology to off-shore industry. In this article, we present a robotic platform that is, to our knowledge, the first to combine benthic legged locomotion and soft continuum manipulation to perform real-world underwater mission-like experiments. We experimentally exploit inverse kinematics for spatial manipulation in a laboratory environment and then examine the robot's workspace extensibility, force, energy consumption, and grasping ability in different undersea scenarios.
