LIONFISH INVASION! Last May, Adam Cantor and a team of fellow engineers headed out in a boat to do some fishing near a coral reef off the coast of Palmetto, Florida. But the group didn't have any of the usual fishing poles, tackle boxes, or nets on board. What they did have was a small, canister-shaped robot called the Guardian LF1. Cantor, who works with the nonprofit group Robots in Service of the Environment, helped design the bot with one purpose in mind: to catch lionfish.
