Research Focus

Smart Marine Systems

Advanced marine vessel systems equipped with sensors, GPS, connectivity, and intelligent navigation capabilities for real-time monitoring and control.

Autonomous Boats

Self-navigating watercraft for research, environmental monitoring, and survey operations without human crews — ideal for Bangladesh’s extensive river and coastal systems.

Water Robotics

Underwater and surface robotic platforms for environmental research, water quality monitoring, and marine data collection in rivers, lakes, and coastal areas.

Hybrid Propulsion

Research into electric and hybrid marine propulsion systems for clean, efficient water transportation suited to Bangladesh’s environmental and navigational needs.
