Northeastern researchers Alan Papalia and David Rosen have developed an algorithm that improves the accuracy of a technology often used in underwater robotics—acoustic navigation, which uses ...

With no propeller noise, gliders are extremely quiet (and stealthy), and can carry acoustic sensors so sensitive they can, as one researcher put it, “hear a fish fart”. This is not an exaggeration: a ...

Like other underwater gliders, ROUGHIE could potentially remain at sea for weeks or even months between battery-charges, near-silently gathering data using a number of added mission-specific sensors.
