Article "These underwater robots make cargo ship hulls so smooth that it reduces emissions (https://www.fastcompany.com/90477216/these-underwater-robots-make-cargo-ship-hulls-so-smooth-that-it-reduces-emissions)"
The HullSkater takes care of the biofilm of algae that collects on a cargo ship’s hull, making them more efficient. Because cargo ships are such big polluters, little improvements can make a big difference.
