Dr. Brendan Englot of Stevens Institute of Technology and his Ph.D. students customize an underwater remotely operated vehicle, the BlueROV, with cutting-edge 3D sonar perception and mapping capabilities, enabling it to have navigational autonomy in an environment where GPS, RADAR, and LIDAR don’t work. Resident autonomous systems such as this can one day help to clean and maintain fish farms and renewable energy infrastructure such as offshore wind farms.
