Grant Success: Automated Diagnosis for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
We are delighted to announce another grant success. Richard Dearden will lead a project on Automated Diagnosis for Fault Detection, Identification and Recovery in Autosub6000. This project will help make autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) more reliable by enabling them to deal with potentially dangerous faults they may have. This will be applied to the Autosub programme in the Underwater Systems Lab (USL) at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton . This series of AUVs is used to help us understand the deep ocean and climate change. The project will last three years, and is 320k pounds in value. We gratefully acknowledge funding from NERC (Natural Environment Research Council) under their Oceans 2025 initiative.
