About
Corey Knutson is a robotics researcher specializing in the design and deployment of low-cost, open-source autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). His most notable contribution is the LoCO AUV—a Low-Cost, Open Autonomous Underwater Vehicle—which he introduced in his highly cited 2020 paper. This compact, vision-guided robot is rated to 100 meters depth and designed for single-person deployment, making advanced underwater robotics more accessible to research labs and educational institutions. Knutson’s work emphasizes open, expandable hardware and software architectures, including a companion simulator that accelerates development and testing. By prioritizing affordability and openness, his research lowers barriers to entry in marine robotics, enabling broader experimentation in underwater sensing, navigation, and environmental monitoring. With 4 citations on his flagship paper, Knutson’s impact is growing as the LoCO platform gains traction in the community. His achievements reflect a commitment to democratizing underwater technology, offering a practical, reproducible foundation for future innovations in autonomous ocean exploration.
