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 […]

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 […]
