This collaborative symposium is now an official Decade of Ocean Science Activity sponsored by IEEE OES, every two years. It aims to bring together those working in the field of marine robotics, including but not limited to autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV), to exchange new knowledge and explore future directions. More information here.
The 2022 symposium will be followed by the popular robotics competition Singapore AUV Challenge (SAUVC), where participant teams are challenged to build an AUV which can perform given tasks in a pool. These tasks are inspired from tasks that operational AUVs would have to be able to perform. It is open to participants from all over the world.
