Abstract

The IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) Marine Robotics Technical Committee (MRTC) was first established in 2008 following the dismissal of the Underwater Robotics Technical Committee in spring 2008. The goal of the MRTC is to foster research on robots and intelligent systems that extend the human capabilities in marine environments and to promote maritime robotic applications important to science, industry, and defense. The TC organizes conferences, workshops, and special issues that bring marine robotics research to the forefront of the broader robotics community. The TC also introduces its members to the latest development of marine robotics through Web sites and online social media.
