If Ive posted this question poorly please move it to the correct location.
I was very active in SAR prior to moving here and all water recoveries I was involved in, and heard about come to think if it, were accomplished by divers. Im curious about the mechanics of robotic (Im interpreting) skeletal remains recovery as spoken of in bodies, more bodies and another body. How is this accomplished; considering the fluidity and drag of water combined with degraded bone to bone connections? And additional complications of resting surface such as boulders, aquatic plants, mixed rock and sediment?
All I can think of is some sort of electronic controlled clamshell of sorts along the lines of a Scoop Litter. Wouldn't any movement stir up sediment blinding the mechanical eye just as a divers?
Or more simply if less delicately phrased; how does it gather up all those little parts and keep them contained? also, there must be something happening I cannot see to move to a shallower depth and then bag for the surface.
