Prospectus Presentation: Low-cost vision based autonomous underwater vehicle for abyssal ocean ecosystem research
Eduardo Iscar
The high cost associated with autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) capable of operating
beyond 1000 meters has limited the study of the deep ocean. However, the oceans have a major
impact on the planet: they store 28% of CO2 produced by humans, act as the world’s thermal
damper for temperature changes and more than 17, 000 species call the deep oceans their home.
Science drivers like climate change and commercial applications like deep-sea fisheries and underwater mining are pushing the need to know more about oceans at depth beyond 1000 meters
