    Underwater weather trailer
    April 26, 2013

    For many the oceans are still a black box, a place where monstrous creatures still inhabit deep crevaces, where fish stocks are thought to be plentiful and endless. An immensity with no limits that can take all of the abuse we can throw at it. Our knowledge of the oceans has grown rapidly in the last decades with technological advances in robotics and electronics, pushing the research and allowing us to explore further and deeper into it. In this six part series we will bring everyone up to speed and delve on some of the most advanced tools that are instrumenting our oceans.

    Underwater robots helping find missing WWII planes, airmen

    Published on Apr 20, 2014

    Since 1993, members of the BentProp Project have hunted the seas of Palau for American planes shot down in by the Japanese during World War II. Now they have new high-tech oceanographic tools to help in the search.

    The Making of "Atlantic Crossing: A Robot's Daring Mission"
    June 4, 2013

    A little meta-documentary about our year and a half voyage to create "Atlantic Crossing: A Robot's Daring Mission," a film about a team of Rutgers oceanographers hoping to "sail" an the first autonomous underwater vehicle across the Atlantic. The collaboration between the two departments laid the foundation for what is now the Rutgers Center for Digital Filmmaking.

    Created in 2010.

    Shirley Pomponi & Bill Clancey: Telepresence and Robotics

    Published on Nov 10, 2015

    Earth’s oceans cover more than 70% of our planet’s surface and constitute more than 95% of its biosphere. The ocean provides more than 50% of the oxygen we breathe, is a major driver of weather and climate, and is the source of food, energy, and cancer-fighting chemicals. Yet more than 95% of the world’s oceans remain unexplored. Ocean exploration and undersea research are changing, with an emphasis on more autonomous sampling and data collection and fewer opportunities for field-based experiences. Telepresence and robotics are currently complementing “manned” ocean exploration, but innovations in undersea technology will be required to increase the pace, scope, and efficiency of ocean exploration and to transform the way we explore.

    Biography

    Dr. Shirley Pomponi is Research Professor and Executive Director of the NOAA Cooperative Institute for Ocean Exploration, Research, and Technology at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, Florida Atlantic University, in Fort Pierce, Florida, Professor of Marine Biotechnology in the Bioprocess Engineering Group at Wageningen University, Netherlands, and Adjunct Scientist at Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota. She received her Ph.D. in Biological Oceanography from the University of Miami. Her research focuses on marine biotechnology, in general, and sponge systematics, cell and molecular biology, in particular. She has authored or co-authored more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific publications and is co-inventor on several patents. She represents FAU on and actively participates in the National and Southern Associations of Marine Laboratories and the Florida Institute of Oceanography. She recently co-chaired a National Academy of Sciences study, requested by the National Science Foundation: “Sea Change: 2015-2025 Decadal Survey of Ocean Sciences”.

    Dr. William J. Clancey, a senior research scientist at IHMC, is a computer scientist whose research relates cognitive and social science in the study of work practices and the design of agent systems. He received a Ph.D. in Computer Science at Stanford University in 1979 after graduating Summa Cum Laude in Mathematical Sciences (BA) from Rice University in 1974. He joined the MYCIN Project in 1975 in Stanford’s Knowledge Systems Lab where he developed some of the earliest AI programs for explanation, meta-level reasoning, the critiquing method of consultation, tutorial discourse, and student modeling. Dr. Clancey’s work on “heuristic classification” and “model construction operators” has been influential in the design of expert systems and instructional programs.
