SMaRC presenting at MATLAB Day for Marine Robotics & Autonomous Systems MATLAB Day for Marine Robotics & Autonomous Systems is a forum for researchers, industry practitioners, educators, and students to showcase and discuss their research and innovations in the areas of autonomous surface and underwater vessels. One of the Mathworks seminars was held by Sriharsha […]

Listen to Ivan Stenius about safeguarding the society on Radio Sweden Development of autonomous underwater robots for civil and military protection has been ongoing for several years. The robots could reduce vulnerability. Within five years, there could be a chain of many small or a few large, autonomous underwater robots monitoring critical infrastructure on the […]

SMaRC-research broadcasted in science program on Radio Sweden Radio Sweden (SR) visited SMaRC during the demonstration period. Listen to their in-depth science program about the latest research developed at the Swedish Maritime Robotics Centre, Vetenskapsradion, På Djupet, Storsatsning på smarta undervattensrobotar. Participants from SMaRC were Fredrik Gröndahl, Josefine Severholt, Andreas Lezdins, Ivan Stenius, Adela Dumitrascu and […]

Watch SSF reportage about SMaRC: Swedish robot submarines learn to make their own decisions Watch the movie about: They can sniff and detect dangerous emissions, collect data to be able to take climate action, monitor our coasts, help algae farmers and much more. In the project SMaRC – Swedish Martime Robotics Centre, the underwater robots of […]

Watch SMaRC-team on SVT During the second day of the SMaRC demo, SVT visited Kristineberg and talked to some of our researchers. Have a look at it here.  

Follow Sriharsha Bhat and Elias Strandell Erstorp on their field course at the Svalbard Glaciers At the end of July, SMaRC Doctoral Students Sriharsha Bhat and Elias Strandell Erstorp will start their journey to Svalbard, to participate in a one-month-long field course at the University Centre in Svalbard. During the trip, you can follow the […]

A glance into SMaRC-DEMO preparation week Next week the SMaRC demonstration period takes place, and the work at Kristineberg Marine Center is up to full speed. In the library Özer Özkahraman is getting prepared. Right now I am working on the behavior tree, a decision making mechanism running on the robot. Its main purpose is […]

SMaRC Day 2022 revealed underwater technologies of tomorrow  Swedish Maritime Robotics Centre’s (SMaRC) annual event on 5 April attracted some 50 participants, who learned about everything from  underwater communication to new monitoring and measurement solutions for applications under the surface of the oceans. The keynote speaker was Sara Mazur, who praised the centre’s contribution to […]

Successful testing of autonomy on underwater robot in algae farm Research Engineers Josefine Severholt and Anna Arnwald are working together on developing Small, Affordable Maritime robots, referred to as SAM. SAM is an agile underwater robot that is one of the experimental platforms that is researched on at the Swedish Maritime Robotics Centre. During the […]
