Doing your PhD does not have to mean only reading, writing papers and labwork. Lauri Vihman has installed numerous sensors on seabottom to build a sensor network and develop a method for increasing fault tolerance of underwater sensor networks. His method can identify faulty sensors and repair faulty data, thus helping to build more resilient sensor systems for underwater monitoring and survilliance. The thesis is a good example of co-supervison, with the expertise on fault tolerance provided by Prof. Jaan Raik, (as the main supervisor) and the underwater technology developed in Centre for Biorobotics.

18. detsembril toimub Walid Remmase doktoritöö kaitsmine. Töös uuritakse, kuidas peaks toimuma liikumise juhtimine autonoomse allveedrooni puhul, kui see on manööverdamisvõimeline igas suunas.

Tallinna Tehnikaülikoolis kaitsmisele tulev doktoritöö uurib, kuidas juhtida autonoomset drooni, mis on manööverdusvõimeline kõigis liikumissuundades, aga mehaaniliselt nii lihtne kui võimalik. VAATA VIDEOT!

Water covers a large part of our planet and exploring it is quite a challenge. For some time now, the research community has been working on developing sustainable, autonomous, and remote-controlled robotic vehicles. Roza Gkliva, who recently defended her PhD at the School of Information Technology....
