Naval Oceanographic Office as a field hydrographer and completing a graduate business degree, Pat Sanders founded вЂ™Coastal OceanographicsвЂ™. Jim is a recipient of many awards, including the Lockheed Martin Award for Ocean Science and Engineering, the 14th Robert Bruce Wallace Lecture at MIT, and the Antarctica Service Medal.In 1981, after working with the U.S. Although his concepts of small,high-performance vehicles and distributed operations were controversial in the 90s, many of the component technologies and approaches he championed are widely embraced today. Most recently, he was MBARI's Chief Technologist, before moving to WHOI. He started the MIT Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Laboratory at Sea Grant in 1988, led the multi-institutional Autonomous Ocean Sampling Network program through the mid and late 90s, co-founded Bluefin Robotics Corporation in 1997,and led the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute's Engineering Department in the '00s. He is a leader in the field of marine autonomous robotics, having created a large number of robotic systems and pioneered their use at sea. Bellingham is the founding Director of the Center for Marine Robotics at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
