A live demonstration of the UH's Unmanned Port Security Vessel (UPSV) technology and business partnership was announced. The University of Hawai'i's Unmanned Port Security Vessel (UPSV) is a robotic platform designed to support maritime missions in harbor and port environments including infrastructure inspection and incident response and recovery, and harbor surveillance. Rapidly deployable, the vessel can be used to map the seafloor in high resolution, photograph critical infrastructure below and above the waterline, detect chemical leaks or spills, and relay real-time video, all at the same time. The demonstration was held at the UH Marine Center, Snug Harbor (Pier 45). This is (l-r) Daniel Rogers (grad. assist getting his masters in Mech. Engineering), Jumar Holston (UH Mech. Engineering researcher in the College of Engineering) and Dr. Brian Bingham (assistant professor at UH in the Depart. of Mechanical Engineering) dock their UPSV after the demonstration (underneath another ship).
