Opening words by organizers.

We (Bridget Buxton, John Potter (NTNU), Casper Potter (NTNU)) present preliminary results from the 2021-22 C-Rove Expedition and the voyage of the 18m private sailing yacht Jocara to the Chagos... Read More

Radio signals hardly propagate underwater, therefore radio-frequency based solutions that are routinely used above water (like GPS and other GNSS) are virtually useless in the underwater domain. On the other... Read More

In recent decades, technological developments and the miniaturisation of sensors have made the development of autonomous and unmanned remote sensing oceanographic platforms possible. These platforms can move through the water,... Read More

Present-day offshore operations rely almost exclusively on remotely operated vehicles deployed from support vessels. However, resident autonomous robotic systems that are docked and ready to operate at or near the... Read More

Reeds is a new dataset for research and development of robot perception algorithms. The design goal of the dataset is to provide the most demanding dataset for perception algorithm benchmarking,... Read More

ScriptsThis tutorial introduction will serve to provide foundation material that will be explored during the hands-on acoustic data processing and implementation of localization methods. The session will briefly describe some... Read More

Founded in December 2017, H2O Robotics, Ltd. is a company specialized in maritime robotics, both underwater and surface, for different purposes and missions. Its flagship product is H2Omni-X, an USV... Read More

SCUBA divers visit a world that is 1000 times denser than air, and that is often murky, with strong currents and other surprises. To mitigate risk divers are taught to... Read More

Monitoring marine life and its biodiversity requires technological implementation to achieve the standards required for advanced ecosystem management in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). We chose the Krka River Estuary Natura... Read More

The term hydrobatics refers to the agile maneuvering of underwater vehicles. Hydrobatic capabilities can enable exciting new use cases for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in aquacultures, inspections, under-ice sensing, docking,... Read More

Data are a fundamental product of marine robotics. The growth of novel unconventional platforms gave rise to a new generation of data, for which there is no standardization and, hence,... Read More

Underwater offshore operations  are one of the most expensive tasks per day because it requires special equipment and deals with though working conditions. Companies are investing a huge effort to... Read More

The principle of Multibeam echosounder (MBES) work, technical characteristics and capabilities, problems arising from work, data processing principles and the final product. Practical Exercise to show MBES work with the... Read More

In this demo we plan to demonstrate hydrobatic manoeuvres with a slender underactuated AUV for the purpose af maximising the usability of the sensor suite on board. As an example... Read More

Autonomy is transforming most industries, and maritime robotics is no exception. With 90% of goods moved across the world in vessels, unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) present a considerable market opportunity.... Read More

Since 2019, Newcastle University have worked, in collaboration with MoD/DSTL and Sonardyne international, to develop a open waveform standard for underwater acoustic communications. This is a highly scalable waveform capable... Read More

Hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms. Marine environments are ideal for their formation, because organic matter rapidly undergoes anaerobic degradation while high and fast sedimentation... Read More

MDM Team is an Italian SME, founded in 2012 with core business focused on marine robotics. MDM Team combines several leading experts to support consultancy and designing for a large... Read More

Simulators play a key role in the development of mobile robots. Simulating vehicle models and their environment without depending on actual hardware has proven beneficial for reducing cost and development... Read More

In this tutorial we will provide in-depth meetings with groups willing to take the localization challenge. We will introduce the acoustic equipment, go over the teams’ plans for localization, and... Read More

The ocean is a vast three-dimensional space that is poorly explored and understood, and harbors unobserved life and processes that are vital to ecosystem function. Ocean-going platforms are integrating high-resolution,... Read More

The continental slope off the Norwegian coast have some of the most extensive cold-water coral reefs in the world. Offshore waters also intrude into the numerous deep fjords that incise... Read More

Underwater inspections in the energy sector are typically costly, limiting what’s inspected and the frequency. The value from inspections is in the collected data and application of that data. AUVROVA... Read More

For millennia, viticulture and mariculture have been a component of human society. Both viticulture and mariculture are heavily reliant on human labor, with workers generally doing arduous, repetitive, sometimes even... Read More

The tutorial shows how guidance and control systems of Unmanned Marine Vehicles of CNR-INM are designed, implemented and tuned. Gain-scheduling PI velocity controller design and tuning is supported by basic... Read More

Long-term inspection and monitoring of harbours, marinas, and aquaculture ecosystems, including pollution mapping and marine litter detection, is a highly relevant problem in the area of marine robotics. This demonstration... Read More

Automating inspection and monitoring of harbours, marinas, and aquaculture ecosystems, including marine litter detection, is an highly relevant problem in the area of marine robotics. This demonstration aims to showcase... Read More
