A Northeastern University student helped Fleet Robotics develop a small autonomous hull-cleaning robot that removes biofouling from large ships to cut fuel use and prevent invasive species spread. The system uses magnetized feet for secure attachment, autonomous route following, brush-based cleaning, and on-board navigation, and has been tested at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
A C++ marine IMU project provides wave-aware sensor fusion for ship-mounted INS/AHRS, with drift-correcting Kalman filters and nonlinear observers. It supports MCU and PC runtimes, wave models, and reproducible validation artifacts hosted on GitHub.

AI and digitalization are rapidly transforming yacht maintenance and refit, shifting toward data-driven processes, onboard digital systems, and new talent needs; a MB92-led study forecasts rising investment, gradual AI adoption, and the emergence of hybrid roles to support a connected lifecycle.
Quartermaster and Presight signed an MOU at ADPEC to blend distributed maritime sensing with AI analytics, aiming to boost maritime awareness, security, and resilience, starting in the UAE and expanding later.
A Canada-based team won the Ocean Hackathon 10 Victoria edition with Sea Who's Calling, a ML-driven tool that identifies and classifies whales and dolphins from hydrophone data to aid Navy planning and conservation. The project outperformed competitors and established partners, and will advance to the global Grand Finale in Brest, France.
A MIT-led team develops a robo-puffin that can swim and fly, optimizing wing size, flapping, and tail angle to transition between water and air. The device aims to enable cost-effective ocean sampling from shore or boats, potentially replacing some traditional vessels.
