New Approaches to Autonomous Exploration at the Costa Rican Shelf Break — Week 1 Video

By Mónika Naranjo González

Researchers are off the coast of Costa Rica, testing robots by integrating sensors, software, and mechanics to create underwater vehicles that can travel through unknown and potentially hazardous subsea regions. These types of vehicles, once able to make decisions without input from humans, will help us understand the oceans of Earth, as well as other planets. Find out more on this week’s #AdvancingAutonomy video update!
