Do Good Robotics Symposium: CapSense: From Space to the Depths of the Ocean: How NOAA Uses Robotics, Automation, and AI to Deliver Science that Serves the Nation
Mark Osler
Senior Advisor for Coastal Inundation and Resilience Science and Services
NOAA, USA
NOAA is an agency that enriches life through science. Our reach goes from the surface of the sun to the depths of the ocean floor as we work to keep the public informed of the changing environment around them. From daily weather forecasts, severe storm warnings, and climate monitoring to fisheries management, coastal resilience and supporting marine commerce, NOAA’s products and services support economic vitality. Data, modeling, and applied technology are the lifeblood of NOAA’s ability to innovate and deliver on this vital mission. NOAA’s dedicated scientists and engineers use cutting-edge research and high-tech instrumentation to drive our ocean-based Blue Economy and enable NOAA to advance U.S. leadership in weather forecasting. This talk will provide an overview of NOAA’s mission and the use of technology in delivering on this mission for the country. Specifics covered will include the use of robotics for ocean exploration, AI for empowering citizen science in environmental monitoring, and how machine learning is enhancing our skill in numerical weather prediction.
