AI is Boosting Operational Autonomy

In a world-first for marine science and technology, Teledyne Marine, in collaboration with Rutgers University-New Brunswick, has just launched an autonomous glider that will circumnavigate the globe.Navigational adjustments will be made along the way, as full operational autonomy is something that the underwater robotics industry continues to perfect.The loss of the University of Gothenburg AUV Ran demonstrates what can go wrong. Ran’s most groundbreaking results were achieved during risky missions under the floating glaciers of Antarctica. It was during one such mission that Ran was lost in
