A Flexible Autonomous Robotic Observatory Infrastructure for Bentho-Pelagic Monitoring.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents the technological developments and the policy contexts for the project "Autonomous Robotic Sea-Floor Infrastructure for Bentho-Pelagic Monitoring" (ARIM). The development is based on the national experience with robotic component technologies that are combined and merged into a new product for autonomous and integrated ecological deep-sea monitoring. Traditional monitoring is often vessel-based and thus resource demanding. It is economically unviable to fulfill the current policy for ecosystem monitoring with traditional approaches. Thus, this project developed platforms for bentho-pelagic monitoring using an arrangement of crawler and stationary platforms at the Lofoten-Vesterålen (LoVe) observatory network (Norway).
