A robot as an automated gas detection dog
---
SPOT-KI is developing a “Safety-as-a-Service” AI application in which large-scale plants can be monitored by the robot dog SPOT using a highly sensitive multi-gas sensor.
SPOT-KI is a joint project funded under the AI directive of the state of Schleswig-Holstein, in which GEOMAR and Northdocks GmbH, a spin-off of Kiel University, are working together.

SAM - Smart AUV-based Magnetics
---
As part of the SAM project, systems are being developed for detecting objects such as old munitions using autonomous underwater robots (AUVs). Based on magnetic in-situ measurements, the SAM routines independently control and calculate the next navigation waypoints as well as complete AUV search patterns.
The aim of SAM is the fully automated detection, localization and evaluation of magnetic anomalies in the offshore area, including the generation of a detailed report for each object examined.
SAM is a project funded by the Helmholtz Initiative and Networking Fund for the validation of scientific findings.

Detecting and marking ghost nets
---
The GhostNetBusters project uses sonar technology to detect ghost nets on the seabed using real-time signal processing and artificial intelligence and to localize them for future recovery.
GhostNetBusters is a joint project between GEOMAR and Kiel-based sonoware GmbH funded under the AI Directive of the State of Schleswig-Holstein.

Intelligent environmental monitoring on the seabed
---
The MOLA system consists of compact measuring devices that can record physical and chemical data on the seabed in the form of landers and on the sea surface in the form of buoys. Distributed real-time data analysis and acoustic communication create intelligent measurement networks that can be monitored and controlled from land.
MOLA is a project funded by the Helmholtz Initiative and Networking Fund for the validation of scientific findings.

Searching for objects in underwater data
---
ValidITy improves and speeds up the process of finding objects in sonar data through clear data visualization, simplified workflows and automation using artificial intelligence (AI).
ValidITy is a project funded by the Helmholtz Initiative and Networking Fund to validate scientific findings and transfer them into software.
