Description

The Coastal and Marine Resources Core Lab operates and maintains many underwater vehicles for use in scientific applications. The lab has several gliders, which are used for continuous and autonomous underwater environmental monitoring, and an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) for habitat mapping and search and recovery operations. It also has several ROVs for live video observation and sample collection. While the underwater vehicles are mainly used for research purposes they also serve the role of recovery equipment for search and rescue missions in case they are needed.

Discover KAUST's underwater vehicles 

The participants will talk with the Marine Instrumentation Engineer that designs, maintains and operates these robots, and get information about the present and future of underwater robots. Also, they will have the chance for a hands-on experience with state of the art underwater robots that Coastal and Marine Resources Core lab operates.
