Students who successfully complete the course will have the ability to design, plan, conduct and analyze the outcome of at-sea experiment for marine geophysical exploration using automated, semi-autonomous and autonomous systems.
Students are expected to acquire:
knowledge about underwater acoustic propagation;
knowledge about marine robotic systems (Remotely Operated Vehicles - ROV, Autonomous Underwater Vehicles - AUV, oceanographic gliders, Autonomous Surface Vehicles - ASV);
knowledge about underwater acoustic localization and communication systems.
