Recent Happenings<\/h2>\n

— March 2016: Liam Paull (MIT), Jeff Walls (Univ of Michigan), and I are organizing a workshop at ICRA 2016 on\u00a0Marine Robot Localization and Navigation<\/a>. \u00a0Poster abstracts are due on May 1!<\/p>\n

— March 2016: Former Postdoc Lash Medagoda’s paper on\u00a0Mid-water current aided localization for autonomous underwater vehicles has been accepted for publication in\u00a0Autonomous Robots<\/em>.<\/p>\n

— February\u00a02016: Antje Boetius (AWI-Germany), Carl Kaiser (WHOI), Yanwu Zhang (MBARI), and I are hosting a session at the 2016 Ocean Sciences Meeting titled\u00a0Advancing Discovery, Observation, and Process Studies throughout the Ocean with Robotic Technologies<\/a><\/p>\n

— October 2015: Four papers will be appearing at the upcoming IEEE\/MTS Oceans Conference in Washington DC. \u00a0Topics include analysis of a\u00a0lower power USBL navigation system<\/a>,\u00a0integration of forward looking sonars on autonomous and hybrid underwater vehicles<\/a>,\u00a0data muling\/extraction with AUVs<\/a>, and a\u00a0hybrid acoustic\/optical modem localization method<\/a>.<\/p>\n

— May 2015: Jordan Stanway’s article on\u00a0rotor identification in geometric algebra<\/a>\u00a0has been accepted in the\u00a0Journal of Field Robotics<\/em>.<\/p>\n

— January 2015: Two papers have been accepted for the 2015 IEEE ICRA conference — one on\u00a0ADCP aided navigation methods\u00a0and a second on\u00a0under-ice navigation. \u00a0Congratulations to all involved!<\/p>\n

— September 2014:\u00a0Jon Howland,\u00a0Qingjun Yang, and I published a\u00a0manuscript\u00a0on nonlinear observers for underwater robot navigation in the IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technologies.<\/p>\n

— August 2014: I was the Prinicpal Investigator on an expedition with the Sentry AUV to (1) measure heat flux at the ASHES and Main Endeavour Hydrothemal Vent Fields and (2) validate new ADCP aided navigation methods. \u00a0Data analysis is on-going. \u00a0This work was funded by the National Science Foundation and the Air Force Research Laboratories.<\/p>\n

— July 2014: Stefano Suman, an engineer in my group, along with colleagues at WHOI and The Johns Hopkins University, participated in the first under-ice sea trials of the\u00a0Nereid Under-Ice Robot<\/a>\u00a0(NUI).<\/p>\n

— June 2014: I participated in the\u00a02014 Japanese-American Frontiers of Engineering<\/a>\u00a0(JAFOE) — an invitation-only meeting of early career engineers in Japan and the USA hosted by the U.S. and Japanese\u00a0Academies of Engineering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
