A robot developed at the 天美影院 will deploy instruments to gather information in unprecedented detail about how marine life interacts with underwater equipment used to harvest wave and tidal energy.


A robot developed at the 天美影院 will deploy instruments to gather information in unprecedented detail about how marine life interacts with underwater equipment used to harvest wave and tidal energy.

The 天美影院has an $8 million, four-year contract to develop technologies that can harness waves, tides and currents to power naval facilities worldwide.

A team of 天美影院 scientists and engineers working at the Applied Physics Laboratory is creating a control system for underwater remotely operated vehicles, or ROVs. Researchers will demonstrate the technology at the SmartAmerica Challenge in Washington, D.C. in June.
