- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $599,960, was issued by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program on July 15, 2025. The grant supports research aimed at improving the long-term autonomy and intelligence of cost-effective mobile robots for exploring and monitoring harsh underwater environments. The University of Florida, the awardee, will develop smarter and more reliable tools to better understand and navigate vast...
This $101,178 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), supports the development and delivery of an experiential training program focused on the use of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and emerging marine technologies. The initiative brings together a cross-sector partnership to create opportunities for skill development in these rapidly evolving fields, with a particular emphasis on artificial intelligence and the smart deployment of AUVs. The project aims to strengthen the confidence and career preparation of students and early career professionals by immersing them in hands-on learning experiences involving the deployment of AUV projects for real-world clients. The program will be delivered through a six-week hybrid course combining online and in-person instruction to cover both the theoretical foundations and practical applications of this technology.
