The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Ocean Exploration Cooperative Institute, based at the University of Rhode Island Narragansett Bay Campus, hosted an underwater systems and autonomy showcase with two blue technology companies, Sonardyne and Voyis, in October.
The two-day event brought together oceanographers, ocean engineers, industry experts, and other participants to share knowledge about advances in subsea technology and explore new possibilities for ocean exploration and monitoring.
Sonardyne develops underwater technology for tracking, navigation, communication, and subsea positioning. Voyis designs and manufactures high-resolution underwater laser scanners, optical cameras, and stereo vision systems for subsea vehicles.
