About
Thomas Ingebretsen is a leading figure in marine robotics, with a primary focus on autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) for ocean exploration and monitoring. His most influential work, "Tracking and remote monitoring of an autonomous underwater vehicle using an unmanned surface vehicle in the Trondheim fjord" (2015, 22 citations), demonstrates a pioneering field experiment where a USV operated by Maritime Robotics AS successfully relayed acoustic data from a REMUS 100 AUV to an onshore control center. This breakthrough showcased the practical feasibility of real-time, remote AUV tracking and communication, significantly advancing the capabilities for persistent, long-duration underwater missions. Ingebretsen’s contributions are critical for enabling coordinated multi-vehicle systems, reducing the need for dedicated support vessels, and enhancing the efficiency of marine data collection. His work has been instrumental in shaping modern approaches to autonomous oceanographic surveys and underwater surveillance, earning him recognition as a key innovator in the integration of surface and subsurface robotic platforms.
