Webinar: Underwater Robots-Trends and Challenges

14 Jan 2022 08.30 PM - 10.30 PM Zoom Current Students, Industry/Academic Partners, Public

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are vital in applications like aquaculture surveys, hull cleaning, and rescue operations. AUVs are chosen for their compact size and onboard artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. Also, AUVs can cover wider areas and work for longer durations, while capable of exploring restrictive areas where divers, ships, or buoys could not access. Unlike other autonomous robots like Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, AUVs cannot depend on navigation methods like the Global Positioning System (GPS) due to the severe attenuation of signals underwater.

Join us in examining the latest developments in Underwater Robots. Six distinguished speakers will share their cutting-edge research into various topics, including robots for environmental sustainability approaches and improved design of robots.
