About
Arne Rokkan is a leading figure in marine robotics and autonomous systems for offshore energy exploration. His primary research focuses on the development of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and robotic seabed nodes designed to revolutionize seismic data acquisition. Rokkan’s most notable contribution is the SpiceRack™ project, a collaborative venture between Saudi Aramco and Seabed Geosolutions, which introduced an autonomous robotic sea bottom node for efficient ocean-bottom node (OBN) seismic surveys. By employing advanced time and motion modeling, his work demonstrated significant potential uplift in acquisition efficiency, reducing operational costs and environmental impact compared to traditional towed-streamer methods. His 2017 paper on SpiceRack™, with 4 citations, serves as a foundational reference for researchers and engineers seeking to automate deep-sea geophysical operations. Rokkan’s achievements underscore a career dedicated to bridging robotics and geoscience, offering practical solutions for high-resolution subsurface imaging in challenging marine environments. His work continues to inspire innovations in autonomous subsea technology, making him a key contributor to the future of offshore energy exploration.
