Thematic Area A: Technologies for Ocean Exploration
Short Activity Report 2005
Introduction
Under Thematic Area A (Technologies for Ocean Exploration) of the Associated Laboratory – Institute for
Systems and Robotics – ISR, Lisbon the three institutions
Institute for System and Robotics – Lisbon Pole, Instituto Superior Técnico (ISR/IST), including
the unit at the University of the Algarve.
Center for Mineral Resources, Mineralogy, and Crystallography of the Faculty of Sciences of the
University of Lisbon (CREMINER-FCUL, abbv. CREMINER)
Center of IMAR of the Department of Oceanography and Fisheries of the University of the
Azores (IMAR-DOP/UAzores, abbv. IMAR).
were brought to the core of a research and development program that aims to push the frontiers of
knowledge in marine science and its enabling engineering fields. Underlying this unifying theme is the need
to bridge the gap between marine science and technology. This is being done by exploring fruitful
collaboration links among engineers and marine scientists, namely biologists, geologists, and
oceanographers. The symbiosis explored is instrumental in providing engineers with complex, challenging
problems in the field of marine technologies. Conversely, it will afford marine scientists ever increasingly
complex technologies to explore the ocean frontier, especially in hazardous conditions.
In 2005, steps were taken to cement fruitful cooperation links among the different players involved in a
common endeavor. Part of the activities carried out are the natural expression of basic research that is
steadily being done on a wide spectrum of areas that range from marine biology, marine geology, and
oceanography, to marine robotics, signal processing, and ocean acoustic tomography. These activities are
complemented by more practically-oriented work that involves the development of new methodologies and
equipment for marine data acquisition and remote sensing, the execution of experiments and missions at sea,
and the processing and dissemination of information to the scientific communities and the population at
large. Both types of activities are being carried out in the scope of national and international projects that are
the main driving force behind the establishment of strong synergies with highly reputed institutions
worldwide.
This joint research and development effort is well rooted in previous collaborative links established among
the Institute for System and Robotics (ISR/IST), IMAR-DOP/UAzores, and Creminer / FCUL). The ISR/IST
contributes to this initiative with its proven expertise in marine robotics, information processing and
computers, and underwater acoustic signal processing. Namely, design and development of marine robots,
study and implementation of advanced algorithms for acoustic signal processing, development of vision
systems for environment reconstruction and classification, and operation of autonomous platforms at sea.
The Creminer and IMAR-DOP/UAzores provide the scientific counterparts with their interests and/or
expertises in the areas of submarine hydrothermal activity, submarine methane production, accumulation,
and dispersion, deep biosphere, marine volcanology, marine biology, and oceanography.

Activity Report – 2005

Considerable part of the work carried out was driven by the need to steadily develop the technological
means that are required for ocean data acquisition and analysis at a scale heretofore unknown in Portugal.
Namely, the improvement of laboratory facilities to increase analytical capabilities, enhancing the
operational capabilities of the Research Vessel Arquipélago, development of a portable laboratory for
geological and chemical studies, expanding the capabilities of existing marine robots, development and
installation of a wide area network of acoustics and oceanographic sensors for long-term ocean monitoring,
deployment of long and short-term acoustic observation systems for ocean acoustic tomography, and
development of advanced methods for underwater target tracking, including fishes as well as marine
mammals and robots. To a large extent, the program undertaken targets the Azores region (with its complex
network of abyssal plains, seamounts, hydrothermal vents, island margins, islands, and a very large
extension of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge) as a natural laboratory for the study of a number of challenging
scientific issues. In fact, the study of phenomena that occur in the area holds the key to a better
understanding of the interactions between physical, biological, geological, and chemical processes in the
ocean.
1 – DESCRIPTION OF SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITIES IN 2005
The research problems tackled in the scope of the Associated Laboratory cut cross a number of areas under
the general umbrella of marine science and technology. What follows is a brief summary of the key thrust of
the research and development work undertaken in 2005.
ISR/IST, LISBON
In 2005, work continued towards the development of faster, cheaper, and more efficient methods for the
exploration and exploitation of the ocean, one of the key objectives of the Associated Laboratory under
Thematic Area A. Such an endeavour called for the definition of a threefold research and development
effort that addresses theoretical and practical engineering issues, as well as issues related to the interplay
between marine sciences and marine technology. The main thrust of the work done at ISR/IST was directed
along the following lines of action:
 Contributing to furthering the knowledge in the general area of dynamical systems theory, with a
special focus on nonlinear robotic systems modelling and robust and adaptive control of highly
uncertain systems.
 Developing new analysis and design tools in the areas of navigation, guidance, and control (NGC),
and applying them to the development of highly performing systems for autonomous marine and air
robots. The latter are expected to play an important role in the study of coastal systems (including
fast mapping of sand dunes and studying the evolution of their volumetry), as well as in missions
that require the coordinated operation of air and surface craft.
 Studying and developing algorithms for feature-based navigation of autonomous underwater
vehicles by resorting to acoustic bathymetric terrain data and geomagnetic data.
 Developing strategies for coordinated control of multiple autonomous vehicles that are well rooted
in nonlinear system theory.
 Advancing the development of software and hardware for the development of prototypes equipped
with real-time operating systems for Mission Control.
 Developing tools for acoustic and scientific equipment interfacing; performing actual missions at
sea to transition from the laboratory to the real world and to foster the symbiosis between marine
science and technology by exploiting the cooperation links with CREMINER and IMAR.
This work was done in cooperation with institutions worldwide. Especially relevant were the cooperation
links forged with India, Brasil, Norway, Italy, France, and the USA. Much of the work related to vehicle
design and development (the MAYA Autonomous Underwater Vehicle and the DELFIMx Autonomous

Surface Craft) was largely shaped by the requisites agreed upon after stimulating discussions with the final
scientific end-users CREMINER and IMAR. At the same time, the group pursued the execution of missions
at sea to bridge the gap between theory and practice and to foster the symbiosis between marine science
and technology.
ISR/U. ALGARVE

IMAR
The conservation of marine life and the sustainable use of living resources in the North-East Atlantic Ocean
are the main objectives of the research and outreach activities of the Centre of IMAR of the University of
the Azores (IMAR-DOP/UAzores). These objectives are shared with the news generations of young students
and newly graduated researchers in marine sciences that integrate IMAR-DOP/UAzores.
The Northeast Atlantic, and in particular the Azores Region, is an area of international interest for
oceanographic, fisheries and biodiversity studies. The members of IMAR-DOP/UAzores have been involved
in the development of different activities within these fields, in a multidisciplinary effort to integrate the
research for a better understanding of the dynamics of this region, and its biological, physical, chemical and
geological backgrounds. The knowledge acquired aim at a sustainable management of the ecosystems of the
region.
IMAR network and the Associated Laboratory – ISR are part of an effort of opening horizons and framing
research activities in larger partnerships. The IMAR-DOP/UAzores team includes now a large number of
Post-docs, several PhD students and graduate staff, with new members coming from different places in the
world (Portugal, UK, Holland, Italy, France, India, Russia, Belgium and Hungary) and contributing to
improving the following fields of research: molecular genetics, eco-toxicology, satellite oceanography,
physical oceanography, fisheries dynamics, seabird ecology, behavioural ecology, etc. Considerable effort is
also placed in contributing very actively to the development of new technologies for the exploration and
exploitation of the ocean (in direct cooperation with ISR-Lisbon), and participating in missions at sea to test
and use the equipment developed.
In 2005, the main vectors of capacity building and research activities at IMAR-DOP/UAzores included the
following:
