Underwater mobile robots continuously collecting data for research are key to a University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa College of Engineering research project that seeks to significantly enhance the study of the world’s oceans. Led by Assistant Professor Zhuoyuan Song, the project is funded by a $394,750 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) National Robotics Initiative 2.0: Ubiquitous Collaborative Robots (NRI-2.0) program.
Oceans provide many benefits on Earth including regulating weather patterns and maintaining a stable temperature that allows life to thrive. However, the knowledge of our oceans is limited due to a lack of underwater observational data.
