D.11 What are the size range and statistical mode of nodules that the underwater robot’s robotic arms pick up?

The current end effector and internal nodule conveyor can accommodate a wide range of nodule sizes from 2 cm to 10 cm in diameter. Refinement to the end effector design and conveyor for the production system will be customized to the nodule distribution in the field of operation. Our concept economic model assumes an average nodule collection size of 7.5 cm.
