How does the development of underwater robots compare to moon rovers or Mars rovers?

<span data-sheets-value="{"1":2,"2":"Developing and operating robots underwater involves many tough challenges reminiscent of those required to operate the lunar or Mars rovers. In both cases, the robots must operate with limited, often non-robust communication capabilities. They must operate in harsh environments which are often less-known beforehand, and must be equipped to deal with complications arising in such environments. The terrain is also often not well-understood prior to the robot’s missions in both these cases."}" data-sheets-userformat="{"2":4483,"3":{"1":0},"4":{"1":2,"2":16777215},"10":2,"11":4,"15":"Arial"}">Developing and operating robots underwater involves many tough challenges reminiscent of those required to operate the lunar or Mars rovers.

Why is the demand for robots/digital agents increasing in workspaces, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic?

Digital spaces iterate innovation by facilitating an easy and comprehensive understanding of shortcomings and providing corrective measures. Digital space also reduces risk by effectively addressing any unexpected threats to safety and security, as it did in the COVID-19 pandemic. Statistically, 48% of experts envision a future inclusive of robots and digital agents that would play a significant role for both blue- and white-collar workers.
