Under Ice Oil Spill Mapping Response System
Under Ice Oil Spill Mapping Response System is a plug-and-play sensor system designed for MBARI long-range AUVs (LRAUV) equipped with oceanographic sensors and sensors necessary for oil detection and mapping. The data that can be autonomously obtained is crucial to developing baseline data in the Arctic and quickly providing decision-makers information during environmental disasters to limit damages.
Nereid HT Hybrid ROV
Nereid HT Hybrid ROV Inventors: Andrew Bowen Overview: Submersible vehicles use tethers to carry power and communicate, but these tethers can place a significant burden on vehicles as well as at-sea logistics, as undersea robotics reach greater depths. Removing dependence on traditional tethers and creating more versatile, lightweight hybrid ROVs/ AUVs reduces the on-board winch…
AUV SUPR Sampler
The system employs the highly adaptive REMUS vehicle to autonomously navigate a programmed trajectory through the water column and rapidly capture discrete samples of microorganisms and particles using a modifiable filtration mechanism.
