The goal of S3AM is to advance aquaculture farming techniques and cut costs, while growing production and farm profits.
The S3AM project is a partnership between academia, non-profits, extension networks, and commercial aquaculture across three coastal regions. Together, these stakeholders will work together throughout S3AM development—including field trials, economic studies, and implementation—to increase oyster production regionally and nationally.

We work with our collaborators across the country on the following objectives:
Aquaculture environments have high turbidity so visual odometry is a challenge for localization. We work on developing nonlinear observers to estimate pose of a robot in GPS-denied and low visibility environments.
