📢 The CSO of Robosys will be delivering a presentation at MATS reviewing the journey to develop a maritime autonomous navigation system for COLREGS compliant USVs >> 🔗 https://hubs.la/Q02NCSc_0 🧭 This presentation delivered by Nigel Lee of Robosys Automation will review a +20-year journey to develop a maritime autonomous navigation system (ANS) for USVs. From an obstacle avoidance algorithm first developed for the NASA Mars Rover to real-life and simulated autonomous navigation and collision avoidance trials, it has proved its COLREGs compliance from Canada to Australia. 👏 🌊 Visit the Ocean Science Technology website for further information. #automation #ocean #navigation #maritime #engineering

⚓️ NASA JPL has tested a prototype robot for the IceNode project, aiming to send a fleet of autonomous robots below polar ice sheets to help determine the melt rate of ice shelves >> 🔗 https://hubs.ly/Q02Nq6GD0 Paul Glick, a JPL robotics engineer and IceNode’s principal investigator, commented, “These robots are a platform to bring science instruments to the hardest-to-reach locations on Earth. It’s meant to be a safe, comparatively low-cost solution to a difficult problem.” 👏 🌊 Visit the Ocean Science & Technology website for further information.

👀 SubC Imaging's Rayfin and DVR+ Overlay technology now integrate with BIIGLE >> https://hubs.la/Q02Nz1-b0 BIIGLE (Benthic Image Indexing and Graphical Labelling Environment) is a robust platform designed for scientists and industries that depend on underwater imagery. The web-based software supports the annotation, indexing, and analysis of extensive benthic image datasets, which are essential for oceanographic research, marine biology, environmental monitoring, and subsea inspections. #ocean #subsea #software SubC Imaging

👏 Dive into this week's Ocean Science & Technology newsletter, bringing you the latest news from innovative subsea and surface tech powerhouses like Advanced Navigation, STABLEonboard, and more. Stories include: ⛵️ Advanced Navigation will equip the Orient Express Racing Team with its Spatial FOG Dual and Certus INS for the 37th America's Cup, enhancing their yacht’s precision navigation. 🌊 Stable AS has partnered with OST to showcase its impressive stabilized platform technology, which has been neutralizing the effects of harsh ocean conditions for almost 25 years. ⚓️ NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory has tested a prototype robot for the IceNode project, aiming to send a fleet of autonomous robots below polar ice sheets to help determine the melt rate of ice shelves. 🪸 The Australian Institute of Marine Science has unveiled an advanced remote sensing model to identify and protect coral reef habitats, using a rugosity metric to accurately predict subsea habitats at tens to hundreds of meters. 🧭 Saildrone, using its Voyager uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs), has mapped 1,500 square nautical miles in the Gulf of Maine to retrieve key data from marine habitats.

🪸 AIMS has unveiled an advanced remote sensing model to identify and protect coral reef habitats >> https://hubs.la/Q02NlT1Q0 The new model uses a rugosity metric – an indicator of the complexity of the sea floor habitat – to accurately predict areas of crustose coralline algae (CCA), turf algae, coral rubble, and sand at scales of tens to hundreds of meters. "The model incorporates many of the key habitat attributes that coral need for recruitment and survival. We can then use the model to help decide which reef areas to protect or actively manage to ensure coral life cycles continue and hence help reefs rebuild following events such as coral bleaching." - Dr Ben Radford, lead author of the study. #subsea #ocean #environment Australian Institute of Marine Science

⚓️ Hand-held fluorometer from Turner Designs deployed to detect and quantify potentially life-threatening Harmful Algal Blooms at the sources for drinking water treatment plants >> 🔗 https://hubs.la/Q02NmPKH0 The authors state that, “Overall, the best strategy on HAB management is to focus on minimizing algae abundance at the source water before initiating the treatment process… Routine monitoring would provide early bloom detection, lower treatment costs, and lower public health risk to the community.” 👏 🌊 Visit the Ocean Science & Technology website for further information.
