The WAM-V Remote Explorer a.k.a. REx
REx is an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV), made by Marine Advanced Robotics in California. REx is a Wave Adaptive Modular Vehicle (WAM-V). The MIT vehicle arrived in 2014 as part of the 2014 Robot-X competition in Singapore. It continues to be used for development of sensing and autonomy algorithms and software.
