How do we know so much about the sea? Pirates and explorers have travelled and surveyed it, merchant ships cross it on their routes, research ships bring samples from the depths of the oceans to their laboratories. But do we really know that much about the sea?
In this lecture, we will encounter the most important tools of modern marine research together: underwater robots that move through the depths of the oceans, some remote-controlled, some completely on their own. We will answer questions such as: Who measures the weather in the ocean? How can you see in the sea? Are there camouflage suits under water? It is often worth taking a look at nature, which has some great tricks up its sleeve.
