uWare Robotics collaborates with Fraunhofer SOT on reef monitoring
uWare Robotics began working with Fraunhofer Smart Ocean Technologies to evaluate autonomous reef monitoring with its uOne underwater vehicle.
Evidence notes
- Fraunhofer SOT planned to use uOne for repeated monitoring of artificial reefs at its Digital Ocean Lab.
- The work targeted geolocated benthic imagery and synchronised environmental data that had previously required scientific divers.
- The collaboration provided a practical validation setting for uWare's underwater mapping and ecosystem-monitoring system.
Company context
uWare Robotics develops autonomous underwater vehicles and software for inspection, mapping and environmental data collection. Its systems combine compact marine robots, navigation and cloud-based mission data for infrastructure and research users.
