About
Jeffrey Neasham is a leading researcher in underwater acoustic communication and positioning systems, with a primary focus on enabling cooperative human-robot interaction in challenging subsea environments. His most significant contributions stem from the EU FP7 project "CADDY—Cognitive Autonomous Diving Buddy," where he developed the "Seatrac" miniature acoustic modem and USBL positioning units. This compact, efficient technology provides reliable communication and localization for divers, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), and autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) working together. His work on the CADDY system, which replaces a human buddy diver with an intelligent robotic assistant, has been widely recognized, with his key paper on the Seatrac modem accumulating 42 citations. Neasham has also explored functional control strategies for underwater vehicles and advanced multi-user acoustic positioning systems that function like an underwater GPS. Beyond underwater robotics, his research includes innovative work on magnetic levitation control for robotically actuated capsule endoscopes. Through these contributions, Neasham has significantly advanced the safety, autonomy, and coordination of underwater robotic systems, making him a pivotal figure in marine technology.
