In WHOI’s Laboratory for Ocean Sensors and Observing Systems, underwater robotics exhibitors talk to Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Unmanned Systems Frank Kelley (center, USMC Brigadier General, Ret.) about their technologies, at the Second Annual Innovators Showcase and Networking Social of the Annual Marine Robotics Entrepreneurship Forum in July 2016. In the foreground, Jeff Smith of Riptide Autonomous Solutions displays a small AUV. The event was organized by the WHOI Center for Marine Robotics (CMR), led by CMR Director James Bellingham, to bring together marine robotic entrepreneurs with representatives of markets, government, and sponsors. CMR’s Third Annual Entrepreneur’s Showcase and Leadership Forum, focusing on the strategic development of emerging marine robotics markets, will be held at WHOI on July 20-21, 2017.
