摘要： Systems and methods for operating an aquatic robot. The methods comprise: autonomously propelling the aquatic robot through a body of water to a location where a water sample is to be obtained; and performing operations by the aquatic robot to autonomously collect the water sample, cause the water sample to flow through a filter that retains eDNA, lyses and releases the eDNA to a create a lysate, process the lysate to obtain a product for eDNA sequencing, generate eDNA sequencing data using the product, and communicate the eDNA sequencing data to a remote external device.

摘要： A print head for additive manufacturing with a material includes an accumulator comprising an elongated body with an open interior and an inside diameter. A slide tube is slidably mounted within the open interior of the elongated body. The slide tube has a sealing piston head hermetically sealing the open end within the elongated body to define a variable gas containment space. A pressurized gas is supplied to the gas containment space. A rotatable shaping nozzle with an opening for discharging material is provided. A positive displacement extruder delivers material from the accumulator to the nozzle assembly. The nozzle assembly can include a nozzle rotation drive for rotating the shaping nozzle about an axis of rotation. The nozzle opening can be aligned with the axis of rotation, and defines a discharge axis that can be perpendicular to the axis of rotation. A method of additive manufacturing is also disclosed.
