Registration will open
Applied Underwater Robotics Laboratory (AUR-Lab) at NTNU has built up a research environment with AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles), USVs (Unmanned Surface Vehicles), ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles), subsea docking station for AUVs in the Trondheims fjord, as well as a control and operation room. During the AUR-Lab Day we will demonstrate these assets showing relevant use cases.
Researchers and PhD’s use the world’s oceans as the research playground for further development of autonomy and resilience for subsea operations – both for observing and monitoring life and the health state of the ocean, and to develop autonomous operating systems for securing subsea infrastructure and installations.
