About
Karl Grammer is a leading figure in the field of cognitive underwater robotics, with his research primarily focused on developing autonomous systems to enhance diver safety and operational efficiency. His major contribution is spearheading the FP7 project "CADDY—Cognitive Autonomous Diving Buddy," which aims to replace a human buddy diver with an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) for improved monitoring and assistance in hazardous underwater environments. Grammer’s work has been highly impactful, with his most-cited paper, "CADDY—Cognitive Autonomous Diving Buddy: Two Years of Underwater Human-Robot Interaction" (2016), garnering 29 citations, and subsequent validation trials (2017) receiving 24 citations. His research has advanced cooperative behaviors between divers and robots, as detailed in project overviews and validation trials from 2015 to 2017. Grammer’s achievements include leading a multinational consortium of seven partner institutions, successfully demonstrating the CADDY system in real-world conditions, and contributing to the development of cognitive robotic systems that promise to revolutionize underwater exploration and safety. His work remains a cornerstone for researchers in human-robot interaction and marine robotics.
