Research questionHow can affordable autonomous underwater robots deliver reliable navigation and intervention capabilities?Costly research AUVs and limited ROVs leave a gap for systems that are both affordable and capable of autonomous navigation and physical intervention. Meeting both goals requires integrating perception, onboard processing, and manipulation within a usable underwater platform.
