Bio-inspired Synchronous Jumping Marine Sensor Networks
Abstract
Imperial College London proposes to develop a biologically-inspired novel distributed, low-energy marine sensors that will be capable of autonomously synchronized motion to form a wide area data distribution network. Their research aims to produce innovative scientific contributions in advanced air-water interface mobility, sensor communication, and autonomous capabilities with an ASV. The system will be able to collect and transmit data amongst the nodes in the network then rendezvous with an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV). This type of transformable robust sensor network is not yet available in the US Navy. Imperial College will lead the effort with contributions from University of Zagreb (Croatia); both universities plan to work with SPAWAR to ensure that sensor development is compatible with existing Naval systems.
