Course details
Underwater Robotics: This unit introduces students to the design, development, and operation of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), focusing on their applications in various fields such as oceanography, marine archaeology, and offshore engineering. •
Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Design and Development: This unit delves into the design and development of AUVs, covering topics such as sensor integration, propulsion systems, and communication protocols, as well as the challenges and limitations of AUV operations. •
Underwater Acoustics and Sonar Technology: This unit explores the principles of underwater acoustics and sonar technology, including sound wave propagation, detection, and processing, which are crucial for AUVs and ROVs to navigate and map underwater environments. •
Marine Sensors and Instrumentation: This unit covers the design, development, and application of marine sensors and instrumentation, including pressure sensors, current meters, and water quality sensors, which are essential for monitoring and analyzing oceanic phenomena. •
Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Navigation and Control: This unit focuses on the navigation and control systems of AUVs, including GPS, inertial navigation, and sensor fusion, as well as the challenges of maintaining stability and control in underwater environments. •
Underwater Communication Systems: This unit introduces students to the design, development, and application of underwater communication systems, including acoustic communication, wireless communication, and data transmission protocols, which are critical for AUVs and ROVs to communicate with surface support vessels. •
Marine Archaeology and Cultural Heritage: This unit explores the application of AUVs and ROVs in marine archaeology and cultural heritage, including the use of these technologies for underwater surveys, excavations, and artifact recovery. •
Offshore Engineering and Construction: This unit covers the application of AUVs and ROVs in offshore engineering and construction, including the use of these technologies for inspection, maintenance, and repair (IMR) operations, as well as the design and construction of offshore platforms and pipelines. •
Underwater Mapping and Surveying: This unit introduces students to the principles and techniques of underwater mapping and surveying, including the use of AUVs and ROVs for bathymetric mapping, seafloor characterization, and environmental monitoring. •
Autonomous Underwater Technology (AUT) Ethics and Regulations: This unit explores the ethical and regulatory aspects of AUT, including issues related to environmental impact, safety, and liability, as well as the development of standards and guidelines for the responsible use of AUT technologies.
