This is the world’s first demonstration of the potentially transformative capability for wave energy converters to enable persistent oceanographic observation and unmanned, undersea vehicle recharge without a cable to shore.
The event included a drone racing exhibition and displays of different drones and their applications by UH Mānoa engineering laboratories, commercial vendors and federal agencies.
UH Mānoa’s Margo Edwards worked with 17-year-old Christopher Lindsay in developing new methods to observe marine life using underwater time-lapse cameras.
