The Monitoring Submersible clearly has great limits in terms of tracking and viewing marine life. Its sophisticated behavioral recognition systems generate large data gaps when they come across hitherto unknown species since they totally fail. The apparently non-invasive observation powers of the platform actually emit frequencies that disturb some marine life, so compromising the research validity. Operating in strong underwater currents, the autonomous navigation system of the submersible becomes dangerously unreliable, usually leading to lost units.
10. Deep-Sea Waste Collection System
This environmental protection system has a serious weakness in its methods of waste identification and collecting. The sophisticated material recognition algorithms of the system mistakenly capture sea life by not differentiating between some forms of plastic waste and marine life. When microplastic concentrations above specific thresholds, the platform’s collecting systems jam entirely and call for regular maintenance. Most shockingly, the unit’s propulsion system fails catastrophically in high concentrations of chemical pollutants, rendering it useless in the most polluted places where it is most needed.
