The Wave Glider® is a unique wave and solar energy powered Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV). Development of this technology began in 2005 and in 2007 the company Liquid Robotics was created to bring this product to market. In the ten years since the company was founded the Wave Glider and the entire field of USVs has evolved significantly. Lessons learned revolve around three primary themes: technology,...
The Wave Glider is a unique wave and solar energy powered Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV). Its two-part design makes it well suited for towing instruments at depth. Deploying a towed payload from a Wave Glider results in a three body, two tether, configuration. Technical considerations for towing payloads include: Drag, Mass, Buoyancy, Power and Communications. These challenges can be managed through...
In the ocean science community, researchers have begun employing novel sensor platforms as integral pieces in oceanographic data collection, which have significantly advanced the study and prediction of complex and dynamic ocean phenomena. These innovative tools are able to provide scientists with data at unprecedented spatiotemporal resolutions. This paper focuses on the newly developed Wave Glider...
Wave glider (WG) is a novel autonomous surface vehicle that uses energy from surface waves for propulsion and an array of solar panels to power the sensor and hotel payloads. In this paper, we test the applicability of the WG platform for persistent monitoring of algal biomass distribution in Monterey Bay, CA. In October of 2010, the WG successfully collected 17 days of data, traveling at an average...
