AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how ships and robots move in the real sea
The Ship Design and Marine Environmental Informatics Lab studies ship design based on how ships move in the real marine environment, as well as the development of underwater robots for observation and exploration and the control of their motion.
For relatively small ships used on remote island routes and for leisure, excessive motion in waves is a problem, and autonomous control of that motion is seen as a challenge for the future.
The lab also works on developing glider-type underwater vehicles and fish-like robots that use new types of propulsion mechanisms.
Key terms
- Underwater vehicle
- A device that moves through the sea to carry out observation and exploration. The lab develops glider-type vehicles and others.
- Propulsion mechanism
- The mechanism that drives a ship or robot forward. The lab uses new types of mechanisms.
- Remote island route
- A shipping route to a remote island. It is given as an example where ship motion caused by waves is a problem.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies ship design based on how ships move in the real sea environment, as well as the development of underwater robots for ocean observation and various kinds of exploration, and the control of their motion. The main subjects are small ships used on remote island routes and for leisure, and glider-type underwater vehicles and fish-like robots.

For relatively small ships used on remote island routes and for leisure, excessive motion in waves is a problem. The lab studies autonomous control of this motion as an important challenge for the future.
*Illustrative imageGlider-type underwater vehicles and fish-like robots
The lab develops glider-type underwater vehicles and fish-like robots that use new types of propulsion mechanisms. The goal is ocean exploration and development that was difficult to achieve with conventional equipment.
