Liquid Robotics Wave Glider Utilizing Teledyne RDI ADCPs for Current Data

Liquid Robotics Wave Glider is a reliable and economical ocean Liquid Robotics Wave Glidergoing system that provides the flexibility and capability to complete missions efficiently and with minimal environmental impact. The Wave Glider has been designed to continuously harvest energy from the environment to travel long distances, hold station, and monitor vast areas without ever needing to refuel. A unique two-part architecture and wing system directly converts wave motion into thrust, and solar panels provide electricity for sensor payloads.

The Wave Glider is a configurable platform designed to support a wide variety of sensor payloads, including Teledyne RDI’s ADCPs. To date, Liquid Robotics has installed 14 ADCPs onboard Wave Gliders to provide users with near-real time data on surface currents and current profiles. Units have been deployed off the coast of California, the Gulf of Mexico and the Mediterranean in support of oceanographic and meteorological investigations.
