In our continuous exploration and exploitation of the ocean, marine robots are powerful tools for accessing oceanic environments that are sometimes harsh or even too dangerous for humans. Early marine robots acted under human supervision, executing preprogrammed tasks or working under the control of highly trained specialists. In recent years, with the advancements in hardware and software, marine robots have begun to possess the capability to autonomously sense and adapt to the intricate ocean environment, thus working more efficiently and intelligently. By integrating recent advances in science and technology, ranging from biomimetic technology and new materials to advanced artificial intelligence methods, marine robots have the potential to be more powerful in the exploration of the ocean environment and facilitating a broader spectrum of tasks, such as studying marine life in their natural habitats or performing inspections and dexterous manipulation in the deep sea.

It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of Prof. Philippe Coiffet on Friday, 20 October 2023, at the age of 83. Philippe was a remarkable person. As a scientist, he was a visionary and an open-minded researcher; he dedicated his life to the field of robotics (in particular, telerobotics and virtual reality), and he leaves us a rich legacy. On a human level, he was incredibly friendly and kind and an outstanding mentor to his students. Philippe received a doctorate in nuclear physics from Orsay University. He spent his entire scientific career at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique. In 1972, he set up the first public robotics research team at the University of Montpellier. Since then, he took numerous secondments. Philippe developed the first force feedback data glove in France, and he worked on enhancing computer-assisted telerobotics with virtual and augmented realities. He published more than 20 scientific books on robotics and virtual reality (most of them were translated into English and some into other languages) as well as more than 300 articles on these subjects.
