Perfect day for a field trial

[RoboPI (Robot Perception and Intelligence) Group @RoboPI_UF]

Our CavePI robot won awards in both the poster and demo categories at the Nelms IoT Conference 2024 at UF. A video demo of CavePI can be seen here: https://t.co/jcORuiaVxm.

Our multidisciplinary work “AquaSonic” - explores underwater data center vulnerability

[Sara Rampazzi @sara_rampazzi]

Can acoustic attacks manipulate underwater data center infrastructures? Yes, if we don't act now. Read our last work in collab. with @RoboPI_UF and UEC that will be presented on May 20 at @IEEESSP!

Mapping subsea structures is usually a manual process. @xahidbuffon & his @RoboPI_UF lab recently deployed their autonomous robot, NemoSens, in the Gulf. With its sonar, hi-res cameras, and 'brain,' NemoSens simply does the job and returns to the boat. https://t.co/vdM19DTVnd

@XahidBuffon Congrats @BoXiao__U @XahidBuffon and co.

[RoboPI (Robot Perception and Intelligence) Group @RoboPI_UF]

Our CL-ViT paper (https://t.co/72hnwXbx2L) on underwater cave exploration by AUVs - is accepted for publication at the IROS 2023 (Int Conf on Intelligent Robots & Systems). This is a join work from RoboPI, UF and Dr. Yiannis's group at USC. Congratulations!

[RoboPI (Robot Perception and Intelligence) Group @RoboPI_UF]

Best Paper Award at the IEEE Conference of AI - congratulations our Master's students Jiayi Wu (@Jiayi_Wu_Leo)!

Jiayi's paper included some findings from his MSc thesis work on efficient 3D reconstructions of underwater scenes. More details soon!
