Several Arcturus members had the opportunity to present their research at the OCEANS 2023 conference in Limerick, Ireland earlier this month!

In particular, the following students attended:

• Jessica Lam - Characterizing the T200 thrusters from Blue Robotics
• Audrey Chen - Construction and electronics for low-cost autonomous surface vehicle platforms
• Erin Menezes - Testing lateral line sensors for biomimicry
• Ansel Garcia-Langley - Integrating autonomy solutions into K12 curriculum for remotely operated vehicles

This conference was a wonderful opportunity to meet others working in marine sciences and engineering from around the world. With numerous lectures from experts in the field, we learned a lot about major movements and challenges in the industry. And of course, we loved exploring Ireland, a country none of us had been to prior!

We would like to thank the MIT Sea Grant and Andrew Bennett for their support of our students and their research! We would never have been able to attend without you!
