The $5 million grant from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will go toward the construction of new facilities for the testing and research into innovative marine robotics such as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). The new facilitites include a Rapid Prototyping Center; an Advanced Pressure Test Facility; an Indoor Robotic Test Tank Facility; and Acoustic Communications Systems Testing at WHOI’s Martha’s Vineyard Coastal Observatory.
