Passage 1(话题:水下机器人帮助发现海洋垃圾)
Scientists in Norway have created an underwater robot that can discover different kinds of pollution at the bottom of the sea. The robot will help clean-up teams discover the areas where there is rubbish, so they can then focus their time and money on removing the most harmful materials.

The robot, which weighs 45 kg and uses special cameras to get 3D images, was created by a team at Skarv Technologies.
The researchers put their work to the test at a bay(海湾) in the city of Bergen, on Norway’s southwest coast.

First, the robot swam up and down two meters above the seabed, collecting data. Then a computer was used to turn the data into a map, which showed different rubbish materials in different colors. The maps will be used to help the teams of divers who clean up the seabed locate the most harmful materials so that they can remove them first.

“Glass isn’t really polluting,” says Fossum, one in the Skarv Technologies team. “So if you know there’s an area with a lot of glass, you probably don’t need to worry about that and can focus on things that are putting heavy metals into the environment.”
As well as helping to deal with pollution, the robot can also show where creatures like starfish are on the seabed.
