This fully autonomous boat can create 2D and 3D maps of underwater terrain.
Alvarez, who specializes in unmanned systems for Earth science, teamed up with Fernando Sotelo, an electrical engineering master's student. Sotelo spent an entire year refining the boat, making it fully autonomous, reliable, and responsive to environmental conditions., "There are lots of reasons scientists carry out bathymetric surveys. If you want to work in water-related studies, you need to know the shape and landscape of bodies of water.
"The first time we tested the boat was at the swimming pool at UTEP—just to make sure it could float," said Sotelo in the press release.
