Summary
This project used a joint academic-industry partnership to demonstrate how multiple types of robotic or autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) with multi-sensor payloads and smart sampling systems can be integrated in use for real-time coastal observations and analysis.
As one of the few academic-industry partnerships from the 2007 Rhode Island Research Alliance, parts of the undersea sensor and communication network for real-time coastal observation and analysis project were essentially underway before the Rhode Island Science and Technology Council came along. The project needed a boost — so the individual project managers decided to collaborate...
