AUV, ROV, & Autonomous Platforms Sensors

This highlight was developed in partnership with the British Antarctic Survey. Sea-Bird Scientific interviewed Peter Davis, Ph.D., co-PI of the MELT project as part of the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration at the British Antarctic Survey.

Ocean scientists, researchers, and offshore engineers are leveraging inductive modem technology to enable seamless, cable-free data transmission between subsurface instruments and buoy systems—streamlining deployment and enhancing long-term monitoring capabilities.

Autonomous and remotely operated underwater vehicles are revolutionizing ocean science by accessing environments beyond the reach of traditional research methods. These platforms, equipped with high-precision sensors, enable realtime data collection while dramatically reducing operational costs.
