The Unmanned Underwater Vehicles Showcase (UVVS) has frequently been a feature at Oceanology International 2016 (OI 2016). This year the conference strand has been expanded to cover autonomous surface vessels (ASVs), and has been extended to a day and a half-long conference. Like all OI conference sessions it is free-to-attend.

麻豆传媒映画淭he half day on Wednesday 16 March will concentrate on technology and instrumentation; then the full day on Thursday will focus on the future of AUV operations, applications for AUVs, swarm robotics and surface vehicles,麻豆传媒映画� explained Event Director, Jonathan Heastie of Reed Exhibitions. 麻豆传媒映画淭he contents of the conference stream are mirrored in the exhibits on the exhibition showfloor, OI has always been rich in UUVs and we are seeing an increasing number of ASVs on display.麻豆传媒映画�

麻豆传媒映画淏lessed with a very strong set of papers submitted, it has proved very hard to select those to be presented, even with the expansion of the programme by an extra half day,麻豆传媒映画� explained conference co-chairs, Dr Bob Allwood, Chief Executive, Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) and the SUT麻豆传媒映画檚 Business Development Executive, Ian Gallett.

麻豆传媒映画淭he presentations will cover a look into the future of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), their applications and, very interestingly, the increase in their cost-effectiveness by deploying them in swarms. Also included are autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) and a detailed look at some of the developments in technology that these and the AUVs can utilise to further increase their usefulness. Apart from looking into the future with the reports of new developments, results from trials and operations are also reported. This promises to be a very interesting and informative day and a half, and one not to be missed by anyone with an interest in the future of autonomous vehicles at sea,麻豆传媒映画� they continued.

Under the heading 麻豆传媒映画楾echnology and Instrumentation麻豆传媒映画� there will be five presentations on the morning of Wednesday 16 March following the opening remarks by Bob Allwood and Ian Gallett.

The first speaker is Mark Atherton, Manager of Business Development and Special Projects at Kongsberg Mesotech Ltd looking at 麻豆传媒映画楾echnical innovations to domed scanning sonar improve performance in deepwater operations麻豆传媒映画�.

This will be followed by 麻豆传媒映画楨xtremely rugged but thin, buoyant optical cables麻豆传媒映画� delivered by Stephen O麻豆传媒映画橰iorden, Director of Business Development at Linden Photonics.

Angus Lugsdin, Business Development Manager of Tritech International will then give his views on 麻豆传媒映画楢 new approach to acoustic velocity logs for underwater navigation麻豆传媒映画�; prior to a look at 麻豆传媒映画楻emotely controlled subsea drill麻豆传媒映画� by Rodrigue Akkari, Director, Applied Concepts in Data Acquisition.

The final speaker of the morning is Pere Ridao, Director of the Computer Vision and Robotics Research Institute at the University of Girona who will talk about 麻豆传媒映画�3D areas with strong relief with hovering capable AUVs麻豆传媒映画�.

Moving on to the second day of UVVS (Thursday 17 March) the morning will start with Graham Lester, Vice President, Hydroid Inc麻豆传媒映画檚 look at 麻豆传媒映画榃here do we go from here? 麻豆传媒映画� The development of the next generation Autonomous Underwater Vehicle technology麻豆传媒映画�.

麻豆传媒映画楽warm Robotics麻豆传媒映画� then come under the conference spotlight with three compelling presentations. The first is by Luc Simon of RTSYS, on 麻豆传媒映画楢n effective swarm of high-speed compact and long endurance AUVs麻豆传媒映画�; to be followed by 麻豆传媒映画楽warm AUVs for environmental sensing at high spatial resolution麻豆传媒映画� being given by Felix Schill, co-Founder of Hydromea SA. The final speakers in the session are Dr Chris Haworth, Business Development Manager, SeeByte and Dan Hook, Managing Director, ASV with their joint presentation on 麻豆传媒映画楧eveloping adaptive behaviours for unmanned and autonomous maritime systems麻豆传媒映画�.

These presentations are followed by a four paper session on AUVs and their applications. Total Meocean Specialist Lattes Philippe will speak on 麻豆传媒映画楿nderwater glider platform survey for oil and gas exploration麻豆传媒映画�; to be followed by Roland Rogers, Maritime Sector Lead at the National Oceanographic Centre telling his audience about 麻豆传媒映画楢dvancing deep sea operations for unmanned vehicles麻豆传媒映画�; with Per Espen Hagen, Senior Principal Engineer, Kongsberg Maritime looking at 麻豆传媒映画楶ipeline tracking with AUV: Operational experience and lessons learned麻豆传媒映画�; and BG Group麻豆传媒映画檚 Subsea Developments Manager, Phil Bremner, delivering 麻豆传媒映画楩latfish 麻豆传媒映画� A compact subsea resident inspection AUV麻豆传媒映画�.

麻豆传媒映画楽urface Vehicles麻豆传媒映画� is the final session of the conference stream. Justin Manley, Managing Director, Just Innovation LLC will speak on 麻豆传媒映画楢SVs as tow platforms: Wave Glider experience and results麻豆传媒映画�; to be followed by Vegard Evjen Hovstein, CEO of Maritime Robotics AS with 麻豆传媒映画楿nmanned Surface Vehicles (USV): an efficient tool for maritime data acquisition麻豆传媒映画�; and lastly James Cowles, Science and Survey Product Manager, ASV will talk about 麻豆传媒映画橴sing autonomous surface vehicles for Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM)麻豆传媒映画�.
