Marine Robotics and Technology (MRT)

Marine Robotics and Technology (MRT) involves the development and application of robotic systems designed to operate underwater or in marine environments. These advanced machines, such as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), enable exploration, monitoring, and inspection of oceans, underwater infrastructure, and marine life. MRT combines robotics, engineering, and maritime science to improve safety, efficiency, and data collection in activities like scientific research, deep-sea exploration, resource assessment, and environmental monitoring. It enhances our ability to study and protect the marine environment while performing tasks that are challenging or hazardous for humans.
