Dr Igor Talijančić

Dr Igor Talijančić, Associate researcher at the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries in Split, Croatia, attended our 3-day course in September 2025. He said: “I found the course very useful because I now know how to integrate platforms under, on and above the water and how to get the best quality data from my sensors. I see robotics as a big part of my future studies.”

Dr Sean Morgan

Post-doctoral researcher Dr Sean Morgan of Dalhousie University in Canada, attended the 3-day course in September 2025. He said: “I’ve been using robotics in my research, but mostly autonomous surface vehicles, so it was great to see what else is available. The work we’ve done during this course on protocols and best practice has given me ideas on what I can do better.”

Dr Phil Anderson

SAMS robotics lead Dr Phil Anderson said: "It is always a joy to run these courses where we can meet and exchange ideas with people at the beginning of their own science career. In this course we are teaching how robotic instruments are practical tools for exploring our world in new ways. By learning the capabilities and various applications of current robotics systems – and understanding what might be possible in the near future – these participants have given themselves a head start on others in their respective fields.”
