About
Elbert Kelholt is a leading researcher in marine robotics and autonomous underwater systems, with a primary focus on advancing cooperative robotic technologies for geotechnical and geophysical surveying. His most significant contribution is his leadership and foundational work on the Widely scalable Mobile Underwater Sonar Technology (WiMUST) project, a major H2020 Research and Innovation Action funded by the European Commission. This project pioneered the use of coordinated fleets of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) to perform high-resolution seismic surveys, replacing traditional, costly towed arrays with scalable, mobile sonar networks. His 2016 overview paper, detailing the project's first-year progress and ambitious goals, has garnered 4 citations and serves as a key reference for researchers in the field. Kelholt’s work directly addresses the need for more efficient, flexible, and cost-effective methods for underwater exploration, with applications ranging from offshore infrastructure inspection to environmental monitoring. Through the WiMUST initiative, he has helped establish a new paradigm in underwater robotics, demonstrating how collaborative autonomy can revolutionize seafloor mapping and geotechnical surveying.
