Six weeks after winning the Great Barrier Reef Foundation's $300,000 Out of the Blue Box Reef Innovation Challenge, Southern Cross University's Professor Peter Harrison and Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Professor Matthew Dunbabin trialled the ground-breaking initiative on Vlasoff Reef, near Cairns in north Queensland.

Professor Dunbabin engineered QUT's reef protector RangerBot into LarvalBot specifically for the coral restoration project led by Professor Harrison.
