\noindent
R/V Philos is a 7 meter Boston Whaler that has been outfitted with
sensors, hardware, and electrical infrastructure to be used as a
mobile marine autonomy laboratory. The vessel is primarily used in two
modes, manned and unmanned. In the manned mode R/V Philos is used to
collect coordinated marine perception datasets as well as marine
support. In unmanned mode R/V Philos becomes 'RoboWhaler' and is used
to test advanced marine perception and sensor fusion algorithms, as
well as to test marine autonomy behaviors.
