The NTNU AMOS annual report for 2020 is out. You can read it here.

​​​​​​​​The IEEE OES Autonomous Maritime Systems Rising Star Award for 2020 has been awarded to Martin Ludvigsen at the Department of Marine Technology and NTNU AMOS.​​​​

NTNU and SINTEF will partner up in the newly funded FME NorthWind research centre, which will develop competitive offshore wind farms within ten years.

NTNU, SINTEF, Equinor and several other partners will over the next 4 years spend more than 2.2 million NOK on a new teaching program for Norwegian High-School students. The students will develop platforms that can measure and gather ocean data such as temperature, information about waves, and salinity. The collected data will be used by researchers at SINTEF and NTNU.

Researchers at the Department of Marine Technology and SINTEF have developed a new test method that can help reduce the price of offshore wind energy production, and hopefully make Norwegian offshore wind investments even more viable.

What happens when everything that can go wrong, goes wrong? That is the topic for Tore Mo-Bjørklund's recent blog post.

AMOS Director, Professor Asgeir Sørensen, has participated in the first Technoport Podcast. Listen to what he had to say about Norway's maritime potential, cybernetics, Greta Thunberg and how to start real change and progress here.

The Norwegian Science Academy (DNVA) and Equinor are providing 25 million NOK to a new research center at NTNU. The center will increase our knowledge of the ocean by developing new underwater-robotics technology.

The new promise of funding from the Norwegian government ensures that the project will not suffer any delays in the coming year.

NTNU have bought a six-meter-long snake-drone. The drone is made by Eelume and will be tested and operated in the Trondheim fjord.

Professor Ingrid B. Utne at the Department of Marine Technology has been selected for the Norwegian Government’s Cruise-committee. Professor Utne is an expert on risk and safety in shipping and maritime operations.

The Norwegian Research Council has created several new Centres for Research-based Innovation (SFIs), three of which will be connected to the research groups at the Department of Marine technology.

In recent articles at Aftenposten and Fiskeri and Havbruk, Director of NTNU AMOS and professor at the Department of Marine Technology, Asgeir Sørensen, writes about how changing climate presents considerable challenges for arctic areas.

Professor Amir R. Nejad has been voted best lecturer for 2019-2020 by the students at the Department of Marine Technology.

Due to the shutdowns of the Corona pandemic, the Department of Marine Technology has gone from in-person lectures to digital teaching. While different, and at times challenging, both students and educators are pleased with how well the new methods work.

Due to the Global Coronavirus pandemic, the Ocean Space Race final was sadly cancelled this year. Despite of this we are very impressed with the effort of the participants, and the OSR judges have picked the winners based on the project reports that the groups submitted.  

The 2019 annual report for the Department of Marine Technology is ready. The report gives you relevant information about publications, activity and projects. You can find it here.

NTNU ocean survey technology, operated by professor Martin Ludvigsen's AUR-team, has helped researchers at UiT Norges arktiske universitet survey hydrocarbon seeps in the Arctic Oceans.

The research conducted at NTNU AMOS is opening new ways of understanding the world, but knowledge is only useful if people are aware of it, and when you want to reach a larger audience, what better way than to make a movie?

Researchers at NTNU AMOS, in collaboration with researchers at the Talinn University of Technology and the Estonian University of Life Science, have shown how "turtle robots" are less intrusive to the salmon in Norwegian fish farms. 

Senthuran Ravinthrakumar at NTNU received the Moan-Faltinsen Best Paper Award on Marine Hydrodynamics 2019 during the IMT Department Christmas Lunch on December 20, 2019.
