The Society for Underwater Expertise’s Gwyn Griffiths Award for Underwater Robotics has been gained by Rustom (Rusty) Jehangir, founder and CEO of Blue Robotics, an ocean know-how firm primarily based in Torrance, California.
Neil Bose, chair of SUT’s Underwater Robotics Panel, and vp (analysis), Memorial College, Newfoundland and Labrador’s College, says: “The usual of entries for the SUT’s Gwyn Griffiths Award for Underwater Robotics was extraordinarily aggressive this 12 months, and the nominees of excessive calibre, which challenged the judges to pick out this 12 months’s winner.
“On behalf of the Panel, the judges and SUT, we wish to recognise the expertise, innovation, and qualities of all of the entrants working in underwater robotics.”
On listening to the information of the Award, Jehangir stated: “Wow! I’m honoured and humbled to obtain this award bearing Gwyn Griffiths’ identify, given all that he completed and contributed to the sector of marine robotics. I think about this Award to be an honour for my complete crew.”
The submission nominating Rustom Jehangir for the Award acknowledged: “Beneath Rusty’s imaginative and prescient and management, Blue Robotics has dramatically diminished the price of ocean robotics, reshaped market expectations of ocean engineering parts, enabled lots of of latest analysis efforts utilizing turn-key inexpensive platforms, and empowered hundreds of latest learners to realize sensible expertise with ocean know-how.
“Blue Robotics is the exemplar of the present market development that sees the price of ocean robotics reducing whereas the capabilities are rising. That is double leverage and driving vital progress within the New Blue Economic system.”
Trying to the long run, Rustom says: “We’re eight years into our journey and I’m having extra enjoyable than ever! I actually imagine in our core mission of creating inexpensive, succesful parts and programs to allow individuals to do extra with marine robotics and we’re going to maintain doing that.
“We’ve realized lots and we are able to preserve doing it higher and higher. The ocean is an enormous place and there’s lots of room to develop and lots of alternatives.”
