| JRA3.1. Advancing shipboard data management and data access |
| JRA 3.2 Equipment innovations for deep sea operations from vessels |
| JRA 3.3: Intelligent robot exploration |
The overall aim of WP3 is to upgrade existing and develop new tools for European research vessels in order to advance their capabilities for exploring the oceans, managing the data obtained and facilitating data access. There are three main joint research activities (JRAs): JRA 3.1 Advancing the EARS shipboard data management systems, EVIOR portal, telepresence and e-access; JRA 3.2 Investigating and developing equipment and rigs for deep sea operations from research vessels; and JRA 3.3 Intelligent robot exploration.
Objectives
The objectives of JRA 3.1 are 1) to review and upgrade the Eurofleets+ data management system (TRL 4-5) into a complete and qualified system (minimum TRL 7) for gathering, transmitting and publishing manual and automatic metadata and data from research vessels during cruises; 2) to deploy in a planned manner the successive releases of the data management system on board the various vessels; 3) to explore, develop and experiment with a ‘virtual playground’ providing scientists with cloud computing and analytical technologies for interacting with the cruise metadata and data; and 4) to analyse, test and draft guidelines for deploying and optimizing solutions for telepresence and real-time data transfer; The objective of JRA 3.2 is the study and conceptual development of equipment for deep sea operations from research vessels. The objective of JRA3.3 is to develop innovative methods and strategies for intelligent exploration, mapping and control using cooperative navigation.
