Demonstrating its ongoing commitment to support, lead, and foster research and innovation in the country, The Research Council (TRC) of Oman has established a Wave Glider Hub at Innovation Park Muscat (IPM) – the first-of-its-kind in Oman and elsewhere in the region. Designed to serve...
Guest post by Francois Galgani, IFREMER Because of its energy independence, its long-duration persistence and its cost-effective operation, the Wave Glider platform is able to collect and transmit data over distances of thousands of miles across wide geographic areas and specific areas of interest and...
How can you measure seafloor motion with millimeter-scale accuracy through two miles of seawater? The satellite-based GNSS technique used on land doesn’t work in the ocean, so we turn to GNSS-Acoustics. When you combine GNSS and precision acoustics, made possible by advances in sensor technology,...
Our recent announcement of the newest Wave Glider focused on the advancements to shoreside operations and in-water performance that enable customers to mobilize, deploy and operate fleets of vehicles more efficiently. Included in that announcement was the Rapid Stand and Crate System. Simply put, the...
Liquid Robotics, the leader in long-duration unmanned surface vehicles, is introducing its newest Wave Glider today, featuring advancements to shoreside operations and in-water performance enabling customers to mobilize, deploy and operate fleets of vehicles more
An experienced Wave Glider pilot can help make the difference in a mission, providing the flexibility to make adjustments as interesting data or challenging conditions arise along the way, and ensuring a successful outcome. Ben Harmon, one of our most experienced Mission Support Specialists, shares...
World Oceans Day has become one of the most fun and rewarding days of the year at Liquid Robotics. As an ocean robot maker with roots on the Big Island of Hawai’i, it’s important to us to be a part of this global celebration with...
When your Wave Gliders complete a mission, you have a choice: takeout (send a boat to pick them up) or delivery (have the Wave Gliders swim home to you). After their most recent mission, CSIR researchers at the Southern Ocean Carbon & Climate Observatory (SOCCO)...
Researchers from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) have observed unusually high concentrations of carbon dioxide blowing out to sea from the Bay Area. MBARI has been measuring CO2 concentrations in Monterey Bay since 1993, but in 2017 they started looking more closely at...
The Philippine-California Advanced Research Institutes (PCARI) Project connects higher education institutions in the Philippines with top research universities in California, in an effort to collaborate on innovative research and build technological capacity in the Philippines. To date, over 5 billion Philippine pesos ($96M USD) has...
We’re always excited to see how researchers are using Wave Gliders in new and creative ways, exploring what’s possible when you use technology to move beyond the limitations of traditional methods, combined with rigorous scientific validations. Here are three recent examples that have us excited...
January 2019, a year we mark twelve years since Liquid Robotics was born. A time when Roger Hine, Joe Rizzi and a few other adventurous friends turned their dream of designing an ocean robot to listen to Humpback whales into a business. In some ways,...
