由于气候变化、广泛的污染和近海能源部门的增长，海洋和与海洋有关的人类活动面临越来越大的压力。在采样不足的海洋区域和正在进行工业扩张的近海地区，数据对于成功管理可持续发展和减缓气候变化至关重要。现有技术无法科普最需要监测和采样的广阔而恶劣的环境。限制因素包括物理领域的空间尺度、高压和强流体动力学扰动，这需要车辆具有持久的自主性、增强的效率、极端的鲁棒性和先进的控制。鉴于软机器人技术的最新发展，我们建议使用软机器人可能有助于解决深海和波浪主导环境所带来的挑战。尽管如此，软体机器人也允许快速和低成本的制造，提出了一个新的潜在问题：无处不在的软体取样装置造成的海洋污染。在这项研究中，技术和科学差距被广泛讨论，因为它们代表了软机器人发展的驱动因素。海上工业支持不断增长的能源需求，机器人在海洋资产上的应用也在不断增长。这种扩展需要通过对海洋环境的了解来维持，因为大片偏远地区尚待勘探和充分取样。我们提供了我们的观点，可持续的软系统的发展，现有的软机器人，促进水下机动性，运动和采样的特点。这种观点鼓励一个跨学科的方法来设计的水生软机器人，并邀请有关的工业和海洋学的需求，要求他们的应用进行讨论。
The ocean and human activities related to the sea are under increasing pressure due to climate change, widespread pollution, and growth of the offshore energy sector. Data, in under-sampled regions of the ocean and in the offshore patches where the industrial expansion is taking place, are fundamental to manage successfully a sustainable development and to mitigate climate change. Existing technology cannot cope with the vast and harsh environments that need monitoring and sampling the most. The limiting factors are, among others, the spatial scales of the physical domain, the high pressure, and the strong hydrodynamic perturbations, which require vehicles with a combination of persistent autonomy, augmented efficiency, extreme robustness, and advanced control. In light of the most recent developments in soft robotics technologies, we propose that the use of soft robots may aid in addressing the challenges posed by abyssal and wave-dominated environments. Nevertheless, soft robots also allow for fast and low-cost manufacturing, presenting a new potential problem: marine pollution from ubiquitous soft sampling devices. In this study, the technological and scientific gaps are widely discussed, as they represent the driving factors for the development of soft robotics. Offshore industry supports increasing energy demand and the employment of robots on marine assets is growing. Such expansion needs to be sustained by the knowledge of the oceanic environment, where large remote areas are yet to be explored and adequately sampled. We offer our perspective on the development of sustainable soft systems, indicating the characteristics of the existing soft robots that promote underwater maneuverability, locomotion, and sampling. This perspective encourages an interdisciplinary approach to the design of aquatic soft robots and invites a discussion about the industrial and oceanographic needs that call for their application.
