Research - AMOS
Research at NTNU AMOS
The research at NTNU AMOS is divided into two research areas: autonomous vehicles and robotic systems, and safer, smarter and greener ships, structures and operations.
Research is organized as 3 major research projects and several associated projects:
- Project 1: Technology for mapping and monitoring of the oceans
Project manager: Prof. Tor Arne Johansen - Project 2: Marine robotics platforms
Project manager: Prof. Kristin Y. Pettersen - Project 3: Risk management and maximized operability of ship and ocean structures
Project manager: Prof. Jørgen Amdahl
