Inside the NOC Robotics Center
Much innovation in subsea robotics starts in academia, and the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton, UK, is a global leader with a fleet of more than 40 systems and 60 engineers and scientists. Alex Phillips, is the Head of Marine Autonomous Robotic Systems (MARS) at NOC, and Marine Technology recently caught up with him in his workshop to discuss key drivers in the evolution of efficient, effective underwater autonomous systems.
