Scientists Built A Robot to Hunt This Starfish

The video explores the anatomy and lifestyle of starfish, focusing on the crown of thorns species, which poses a threat to coral reefs. It discusses the ecological impact of their population cycles and the development of robotic solutions to control their numbers. The use of bile as a toxin to eliminate these starfish is highlighted, along with the role of the Rangerbot in reef restoration and starfish management.

Explain the purpose and function of the robotic assassins developed to combat crown of thorns starfish.

What substance was discovered to be toxic to crown of thorns starfish, and how was it tested?

How does the rangerbot differ from the cotsbot in its capabilities?
