Abstract (EN): Robotic vehicles are already deployed around the globe as a preferred tool for ocean sampling, from surface coastal waters down to the deepest remote locations. They are mainly used to perform routine measurement tasks, with obvious benefits in terms of space and time density, as well as accuracy in the localization of measurements. As the underlying technology matures, new features are being introduced and validated in operational scenarios, enabling new paradigms in ocean observation. This chapter describes the latest developments in marine robotics, presented in different stages of maturity, and sheds light on upcoming features available to the scientific community.
