ORCA extends portable GPS technology to the deep
ORCA Instrumentation, in partnership with ACSA, has developed the GIB system, which is designed to track pinger-fitted underwater vehicles in real-time. GIB is a new concept to get GPS accuracy for underwater vehicle location and tracking, and is very easy to set and to operate. The technology is based on a surface buoy network and location... view more... (2004-03-04)

Squid-inspired design could mean better handling of underwater vehicles
Inspired by the sleek and efficient propulsion of squid, jellyfish and other cephalopods, a University of Colorado at Boulder researcher has designed a new generation of compact vortex generators that could make it easier for scientists to maneuver and dock underwater vehicles at low speeds and with greater precision. view more (2006-12-13)
Southampton gets ready for largest ever Unmanned Underwater Vehicle Showcase
Over 80 of the world's leading developers and manufacturers of unmanned underwater vehicles and sub-systems are gathering in Southampton next week (2-3 September), to take part in the largest ever Unmanned Underwater Vehicle Showcase (UUVS 98). view more (1998-08-28)
Monitoring Baleen Whales with Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
Like robots of the deep, autonomous underwater vehicles, or AUVs, are growing in number and use in the oceans to perform scientific missions ranging from monitoring climate change to mapping the deep sea floor and surveying ancient shipwrecks. view more (2006-02-22)
Fishy sixth sense could help robots navigate the oceans
Taking their cue from fish, scientists in the US have built a navigational aid that will help robots and remote sensors find their way around the world`s vast oceans. The team describes its research today in the Institute of Physics publication Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering. Fish and many amphibian animals find their way through... view more...

Underwater listening devices yield discoveries about endangered large whales
Why whales emit their characteristic calls remains largely a biological mystery, but listening for the distinctive underwater sounds provides a valuable way to track the movements of endangered large whales. view more (2006-01-03)
Recycling Cars
The old breakers' yards, going for a long time, are soon to disappear. The future is now in recycling components from these vehicles and all as a consequence of a new Directive approved by the European Union. The new law came into being in the Spanish State in December 2002. From February of this year the Royal Decree for the Direction General of... view more... (2004-04-26)

The web site of a European research project on underwater cultural heritage now opened
Within the European Community Culture 2000 Programme, six European countries run in 2002-2004 the first co-operation project on underwater cultural heritage. The main organizer of the project is The Maritime Museum of Finland. The English web site of the project has now been opened. view more (2002-07-02)
Researchers give new hybrid vehicle its first test drive in the ocean
Taking a page out of a science fiction story, researchers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and Webb Research Corporation (Falmouth, Mass.) have successfully flown the first environmentally powered robotic vehicle through the ocean. The new robotic "glider" harvests heat energy from the ocean to propel itself across... view more... (2008-02-11)
