Shared Autonomy for Remote Collaboration
Shared Autonomy for Remote Collaboration (SHARC) enables remote scientists to participate in shipboard operations via a VR or desktop interface. The system coordinates data sharing and planning for remotely operated semi-autonomous robotics with low bandwidth communications constraints. It is particularly useful in complex or hazardous environments...

Lightning Strike Predictor
An early warning system for potential lightning strikes for use in locations such as a sailboat at sea. The sensor may be coupled with protective systems to disconnect electronics and shunt lightning-caused currents to the ground. Additionally, the sensor may also be used to activate warning systems. Background: Safety at sea is on the mind of every...

Light Fiber Tether Management for Underwater Vehicles
­A self-retracting reel for fiber and light-tether payout management from underwater vehicles or host platforms. The designed reel holds a communication tether, and an active drive system designed to maintain minimal but sustained tension on the tether at all times. The reel speed and direction is dictated by fluctuations in the tether tension and...

RotoBOD
­Bench-top instrument to measure oxygen consumption in small, suspended samples. The design utilizes a motor to rotate 60 gas-tight incubation bottles horizontally at user-determined speeds. It enables particles to stay in suspension through constant rotation to better replicate the activity the particles would show in their normal environment....

Instrument Locator System (ILS)
­The Instrument Locator System (ILS) is a low-cost, easy-to-implement, stand-alone unit for recovering equipment or instrumentation at sea. The system attaches to any equipment that surfaces upon recovery. Once at the surface, the ILS sends GPS coordinates to a laptop and base station aboard the vessel within one minute. The laptop displays a graphic...

Rapid Seeding Spool
The Rapid Seeding Spool is effectively designed to reduce operation and labor costs in maricultural farming. The spool uses two thrusters to propel and evenly rotate around the seed string at a specified number of wraps per distance. The seeding can be done underwater and reduces the time seed spools spend in the air; this reduces exposure time to the...

Dynamic Electric Motor
A novel Brushless DC (BLDC) motor system. The design is intended to decouple the torque from the voltage in BLDC motors, allowing torque and speed to be independent. The outcome is consistently applying torque to the shaft while reducing parts and friction and providing greater system control. Oceanographic exploration relies heavily on large dynamic-range...

Acoustic Telescope
The Acoustic Telescope further expands remote deepwater exploration. The Telescope uses six hydrophones to listen to the ambient sound generated in biological, geophysical, meteorological events, and oceanographic and anthropogenic processes and activities. Using multiple hydrophones simultaneously creates one system capable of measuring and distinguishing...

Adaptive Aquaculture Feed Monitor
The Aquaculture Smart Feeder is a vision-based feed tracking system. It monitors fish pre- and post-satiation, automatically characterizing fish behavior and size and adapting feed schedules depending on the conditions detected. The Aquaculture Smart Feeder allows for unsupervised monitoring and can take the risk and guesswork out of feeding and monitoring,...
