Artificial gills for ocean gliders: A new energy system for autonomous underwater vehicles

Autonomous underwater robots, such as ocean gliders, can autonomously navigate the ocean for several weeks. Their sensors measure parameters like temperature, pressure, salinity, oxygen concentration, and currents. Capable of diving to depths of up to 1,000 meters, they facilitate measurements that are challenging to achieve with research vessels.
