"From Research to Real-World Systems"

Technology transfer from URRG to IROSS


Origins

  • IROSS traces its technological roots to the work carried out by the Underwater Robotics Research Group (URRG) at Universiti Sains Malaysia.

    Over the years, URRG developed multiple underwater, surface, and inspection robotic platforms that formed the foundation of IROSS’s current capabilities.


Technology Transfer
