Project description
Croatia dives into underwater wireless networks
Smart new technologies are unfolding under the seas. The Internet of underwater things (IoUT) refers to the network of smart interconnected underwater objects. From underwater exploration to disaster prevention, the IoUT is expected to have numerous practical applications. In this context, the EU-funded TEUTA project will assist H20 Robotics, a Croatian SME, to launch innovative products and services related to marine technology. It is currently developing lightweight, low-cost acoustic devices and robotic platforms to create underwater wireless networks that facilitate the IoUT. The project will assist in the recruitment of an innovation associate who can take the Croatian SME to the next level as regards innovation, distinguishing the company from global competitors.
Objective
The envisaged innovation idea of the H2O robotics is the full Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) system created by lightweight, low-cost acoustic devices that link underwater network with terrestrial networks. IoUT system would provide positioning of underwater agents (e.g. sensors, vehicles, divers) and simultaneous communication between users on land and the underwater agents/things. Turning this innovative idea into an innovation project we will gradually expand our product portfolio with a new product, IoUT product, as well as expand the application portfolio of our existing products. Development of advanced technologies represents only one segment in a puzzle of turning innovation idea into commercially successful product. Insufficient in-house capacities in innovation management and business development and lack of appropriate candidates with these skills on the national labour market represent the problem and the barrier that this project will help us to overcome. Integration of the Innovation Associate into this venture will reinforce capacity of the team, multiply effect of the effort and help releasing full societal and commercial potential of the innovation idea. This project will be beneficial for both, Innovation Associate and the company. A solid scientific PhD-level background of the Associate will be deepened in the field related to innovation, his/her business-related skills will be developed and strengthen and a significant level of independence in work will be established. As a result, career stage of the Associate will be elevated to R3. H2O robotics will get an opportunity to launch new innovative products and/or services that will distinguish the SME from the competitors on the global market and get an employee (Innovation Associate) with capacities difficult to find and attract on the national labour market.
