TAGGED WITH autonomous underwater vehicles (auvs)
An AI pipeline developed by CSAIL researchers enables unique hydrodynamic designs for bodyboard-sized vehicles that glide underwater and could help scientists gather marine data.
A spherical prototype with "nimble dimples" can change its surface from smooth to dimpled, cutting through drag and generating lift.

TAGGED WITH laser scanners
Conventional photoelectric sensors used for object detection and distance measurement can struggle with dark, glossy, or irregular targets because they rely on light intensity. Time-of-flight laser sensors overcome these challenges by using distance-based sensing instead.
