The Underwater Exploration Lab is used by the School of Ocean Technology to enhance its education of students in the field of subsea robotics and to assist in ocean mapping research.
In the laboratory, students learn to pilot ROVs and hone their skills in executing complex underwater tasks in a safe environment – training with the same technology used by industry.
Researchers also use the laboratory to visualize data in high-fidelity, including a team led by MI’s Canada Research Chair in Ocean Mapping.
The Underwater Exploration Laboratory’s virtual remotely operated vehicle (VROV) technology was provided by one of MI’s industry partners, GRi Simulations Inc.
Key features of the Underwater Exploration Laboratory include integrated pilot stations, launch and recovery simulators, dual simulator capability and enhanced manipulator control functionality.
