This special issue belongs to the section “Robotics and Automation“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vehicles operating autonomously in challenging ocean environments remain an interesting area of continuous research. This Special Issue includes ocean characterization and other topics of oceanography in addition to topics relating to the vehicle and its operation. The issue is intended to be broad in scope to expand readers’ thoughts beyond their own individual discipline. Authors are urged to consider the cross-disciplinary context and submit their manuscripts for rigorous peer review. Some keywords are included but should not be considered a limiting set.
