Autonomous platforms are undersea robots used to explore and observe Ocean properties.

A glider is a torpedo-shaped undersea robot that, equipped with specific physical and/or biogeochemical sensors,...

Gliders are usually equipped with “basic” scientific payloads generally comprising temperature, salinity and oxygen sensors.

Gliders (like profiling floats) are scientific platforms that represent unique tools for Ocean exploration.

In the Mediterranean, a glider regularly "travels" the Ligurian Sea.
