A comparison of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Random Forest (RF) model predictions of benthic habitats within Apollo Marine Park. The CNN (left) and RF (right) classification maps show the spatial distribution of three habitat types: high energy circalittoral rock with seabed‐covering sponges, low complexity circalittoral rock with non‐crowded

Convergence Analysis on Multi-AUV Systems With Leader-Follower Architecture
In multi-autonomous underwater vehicle (multi-AUV) systems, the convergence rate is characterized by the pace of consistency of the key state information for each member. The topology with leader-follower architecture is designed as a combination of an undirected graph between followers and a digraph between leaders and followers.

Biodiversity research requires more motors in air, water and on land
Abstract Human activities have accelerated species extinctions, driving rapid biodiversity decline. Simultaneously, advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and autonomous systems offer transformative potential for biodiversity research. Uncrewed vehicles—drones (aerial systems) and other robots (ground and underwater platforms)—equipped with high ...

ABSTRACT Mesophotic reefs are located in low light conditions which, depending on the region, are usually found in water depths greater than ~30 m. They are less affected by ocean warming than reefs found in shallower water depths and thus might become increasingly important for the sustainability of marine biodiversity.
