Abstract

Gliders have proven to be effective tools for sampling the ocean and their modular nature allows for a wide range of missions. Their modularity, adaptive sampling capabilities, and near-real-time data allow them to serve many different communities, from sensor engineers to education/outreach communities. The ability to incorporate new sensors onboard allows scientific capabilities to evolve. Their ability to operate for sustained periods under extreme conditions allows scientists to study processes not possible using ships. Finally, we have found robots are a particularly effective means of entraining students and the general public in ocean exploration. This chapter will highlight these applications.
