AutoNaut Ltd, a global leader in autonomous wave propelled vessels, has formally become a partner with the Marine Robotics Innovation Centre.

UK-based AutoNaut and the NOC has enjoyed a long-term relationship since 2013 and this move is a sign of the company’s increasing ambitions.

The world’s first autonomous robotic vessel to measure sea level completes a successful two week mission in the North Sea.

The first opportunity for the public to view a live demonstration of world-leading technology that enables a fleet of robotic-subs to work together to measure the ocean’s properties, will take place at the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) this Wednesday.

World leading Autonomous Surface Vehicle manufacturer, ASV, announced today that it will be taking space in the Marine Robotics Innovation Centre to facilitate its ongoing partnership with NOC on a number of projects.

The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is a partner in a new £2.5m Centre for Doctoral Training in the use of ‘robotic’ systems for environmental sciences.

How marine robotic vehicles can map and monitor the ocean – and the National Oceanography Centre’s (NOC) experiences of using them – is one of the subjects being discussed at this year’s international WhaleFest event, taking place this weekend at the Brighton Centre.

A competition to improve ocean research methods has awarded £250,000 to innovators looking to develop robot technology.

During half term, 28–30 October, some of the fleet of robots currently exploring the ocean off the coast of the Isles of Scilly will be on display at the Science Museum in London.

The latest Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) competition was launched today at the NOC in Southampton – making £1.5 million available to UK businesses to develop novel adaptive autonomous ocean sampling network (AOSN) management systems.

Two ocean-going unmanned vehicles designed for long endurance scientific research were showcased at the National Oceanography Centre to potential users from across the marine scientific community, defence industry and broader marine industries.
