IEEE OES-GRSS NL chapter Invited Talk 1
The title of the talk:
"Advancing Marine Robotics in Complex Environments "
Abstract:
Marine robotic platforms have been increasingly used in oceanography and marine science research to study complex processes in challenging environments. In this seminar, the speaker will present the recent the development of a highly customizable control and mission management system, and autonomy systems for marine robotic platforms conducting complicated missions, such as ice-water interface exploration, iceberg mapping, underwater docking and multi-agent coordination.
Presenter:
Dr. Mingxi Zhou
Mingxi's brief bio:
Mingxi Zhou is an Associate Professor at Graduate School of Oceanography, University of Rhode Island. Prior to his appointment, he was a postdoctoral researcher at Memorial University of Newfoundland from 2017 to 2018. He received his PhD and M.Eng degree from Memorial University of Newfoundland in 2017 and 2012, and holds a bachelor’s degree in engineering from Central South University in China.
His research is focused on marine autonomy, underwater navigation, and open-access hardware development, especially for operations in complex environments, such as under-ice and rapidly changing coastal waters. He is an NSF CAREER Award recipient in 2023.
