Key Summary
Introduction
Marine robots are seen as game changers for marine science, deep-sea and polar exploration, environmental monitoring, oceanographic research, but also shipping. They offer the potential of exploring the oceans at depths currently out of reach while remaining at sea for several months and continuously recording data and collecting samples. Their applications range from inspecting submerged structures and laying cables, to constantly transporting goods in a greener and safer way. However, the ocean is one of the most harsh, complex, and dynamic working environments for robots. It poses many scientific and technical challenges that have more in common with outer space than with land or aerial environments on Earth.
Ideal Students
The program is intended for young professionals as well as Bachelor, Master, or early PhD students, who want to deep-dive in the fields of computer science, applied to maritime studies. It is also directed towards field practitioners wanting to gain insights into the most recent developments in maritime informatics. Any educational background is welcome.
