Autonomous underwater robots can provide valuable information for predicting ocean currents and weather patterns during hurricanes and other harsh conditions. The problem is that these same conditions make it hard for these vehicles to last very long. With a grant from the Office of Naval Research (ONR), Yale researchers aim to develop algorithms for underwater […]| Rutgers University Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences
