About
Jiawei Mo is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the development of accessible, open-source autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). His major contribution is the design and experimental validation of the LoCO AUV—a Low-Cost, Open Autonomous Underwater Vehicle. This platform is notable for being a general-purpose, vision-guided robot that is both single-person-deployable and rated for depths of up to 100 meters. By emphasizing an open and expandable design, Mo's work directly addresses the high cost and proprietary nature of traditional underwater robotics, making advanced marine research more accessible to academic labs and smaller institutions. His 2020 paper on the subject has garnered 4 citations, serving as a foundational reference for researchers seeking to build or modify low-cost underwater systems. Additionally, Mo's contributions extend to simulation tools, having developed a simulator for the LoCO AUV that facilitates algorithm testing without the need for physical deployment. Through this work, Jiawei Mo is helping to democratize underwater exploration and robotics research.
