WARPLab 2021 @ St. John, USVI

WARPLab's research focuses on both the science and systems of exploration robots in extreme, communication starved environments such as the deep sea. It aims to develop robotics and machine learning based techniques to enable search, discovery, and mapping of natural phenomena that are difficult to observe and study due to variouis physical and information theoretic challenges.

WARPLab is headed by Yogesh Girdhar, and is part of the Deep Submergence Laboratory (DSL), and the Applied Ocean Physics & Engineering (AOPE) department at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
