Introduction
Open Ocean Software is an NSF Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems project focused on open-source in marine robotics: autonomous underwater and surface vehicles, moorings, drifters, and related technologies: sensors, data acquisition, simulation, and more.
We will support existing and new peer-reviewed software projects to improve access, visibility, trust, and reliability.
We will serve scientists, defense research, industry roboticists and educators with solutions to improve reusability and interoperability.
We will grow the community through live events and online forums.
Our impacts will be broad, supporting diverse projects that directly focus on the world’s key issues (e.g., climate, fisheries, defense, energy).
Community Survey — We Want Your Input
We're gathering input from the maritime robotics community to shape our priorities around software tools, interoperability, and community infrastructure. Whether you use ROS, MOOS-IvP, Goby, or something else — your perspective matters.
