Overview
With 2000km of coral reef and marine life surrounding it, the Red Sea is a rich and diverse ecosystem. Due to its ecological and economic importance, persistent monitoring of its key areas is critical for marine biology research, economic development, and environmental protection.
Key Facts
However, long-term survey and observation of extensive marine environments are extremely labour-intensive and hence require new technological development. There have been a numerous efforts made in research and development of robots designed to autonomously survey and collect data in remote areas that are hard to access by human divers or require long-term and repeated monitoring.
However, there remain technical challenges in implementing long-term autonomy in underwater robotics to allow a robot to navigate in close proximity of marine lives over an extended period of time while ensuring absolute safety and not interfering with their natural habitats. Find out more with this Safety-Guaranteed Planning and Control for Autonomous Underwater Robots (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) .
