Researchers at Khalifa University, in collaboration with Dubai Future Foundation鈥檚 Dubai Future Labs, have developed a new technology that allows underwater robots to interpret their surroundings in real time. Known as 鈥楻oboGenAI,鈥� the system enables robots to detect patterns, notice changes, and understand what those signals mean, while monitoring marine environments, shifting underwater observation from periodic inspections to continuous awareness.
The project has already earned international recognition, winning Best Paper at IEEE MetroSea 2025 in Genova, Italy, and is being prepared for submission to IEEE ICRA 2026 in Vienna.
