Mapping subsea structures and surveying seabeds is normally a time-consuming and complex process done manually. However, Dr. Md Jahidul Islam and his RoboPI lab have designed an autonomous underwater robot, NemoSens, to do the job efficiently. The team recently deployed NemoSens in the Gulf of Mexico, demonstrating the capabilities of the robot in the video […]

Underwater data centers (UDCs) hold promise as next-generation data storage due to their energy efficiency and environmental sustainability benefits. While the natural cooling properties of water save power, the isolated aquatic environment and long-range sound propagation characteristics in water create unique vulnerabilities which differ from those of on-land data centers. In this new work called […]

A project led by Dr. Md Jahidul Islam titled “Underwater Robot Navigation and Localization During Recovery by Optical Homing and Penning” received $600K in funding by the NSF Foundational Research in Robotics (FRR) program. Along with collaborators Dr. Sanjeev Koppal (ECE) and Dr. Jane Shin (MAE), this project will solve the foundational problem of underwater […]
