About the Ocean Technology Lab (OTL)

OTL is currently involved in a underwater technology projects that range in scope from autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to the evaluation of underwater insturmentation for scientific use. Some of the current research topics include:

• Underwater vehicle and structure design
• Control and guidance systems for underwater vehicles including the development of a new underwater postioning system
• High definition underwater video

The lab engineers have diverse backgrounds in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and software development. This experience provides a solid framework for developing new and innovative underwater technologies.
