Control and Autonomy of Marine Robotics
Working with NUWC Keyport and NAVSEA, UNH researchers are applying advanced control techniques to enhance the robust and reliable control of autonomous marine vehicles in various aquatic environments and sea states.
Control and Autonomy of Marine Robotics
Autonomous System of Collaborative Multi-Platform Unmanned Marine Vehicles Autonomous System of Collaborative Multi-platform
Using both underwater and surface autonomous vehicles, work is underway to establish an autonomous coordinated network of unmanned marine vehicles. This research will also develop test beds to confirm general autonomy in future autonomous US Navy platforms and multi-platform systems.

Path Planning for Autonomous Marine Vehicles
This research aims to combine global and local path-planning methods to establish a multi-layered strategy utilizing a priori knowledge of an aquatic area and vehicle dynamics with the real-time detection of unmapped obstacles and hazards.
