A prototype of an autonomous underwater vehicle capable of navigating complex underwater environments and of collecting data adaptively over long periods of time. A team led by WHOI computer scientists envision a robot with two basic methods of observing a coral reef—image collection and acoustic analysis—and use the information it gathers to explore the reef ecosystem
