Field testing in the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, Brazil using a Triton 3K3 manned submersible. (A) Image sequence of the soft manipulator grasping a midwater pyrosome (Pyrosoma atlanticum) in the water column, as observed from a diver. (B) The soft manipulator articulating upwards to grasp a coral at approximately 300 m depth and (C) downwards to grasp a sponge. (D) Manipulator straightened out to approach the deep-sea octopus Cirroteuthidae murrayi at approximately 700 m. Images are taken from frames of a Red Digital 8 K Dragon pan-tilt camera mounted to the outside of the submersible.
