Soft Robots for Ocean Exploration and Offshore Operations: A Perspective.

Soft robotics
The ocean and human activities related to the sea are under increasing pressure due to climate change, widespread pollution, and growth of the offshore energy sector. Data, in under-sampled regions of the ocean and in the offshore patches where the i...

High-resolution acoustic surveys with diving gliders come at a cost of aliasing moving targets.

PloS one
Underwater gliders are autonomous robots that follow a slow, see-saw path and may be deployed for months on end. Gliders have a dramatically lower payload capacity than research vessels and are thus limited to more simple instrumentation. They have t...

From ships to robots: The social relations of sensing the world ocean.

Social studies of science
The dominant practices of physical oceanography have recently shifted from being based on ship-based ocean sampling and sensing to being based on remote and robotic sensing using satellites, drifting floats and remotely operated and autonomous underw...

A Neural Network Model for K(λ) Retrieval and Application to Global Kpar Monitoring.

PloS one
Accurate estimation of diffuse attenuation coefficients in the visible wavelengths Kd(λ) from remotely sensed data is particularly challenging in global oceanic and coastal waters. The objectives of the present study are to evaluate the applicability...

A system of coordinated autonomous robots for Lagrangian studies of microbes in the oceanic deep chlorophyll maximum.

Science robotics
The deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM) layer is an ecologically important feature of the open ocean. The DCM cannot be observed using aerial or satellite remote sensing; thus, in situ observations are essential. Further, understanding the responses of mi...
