Dr. Richmond completed his Ph.D. at Stanford University on a visual mapping, navigation, and control system for MBARI ROVs and then started working with Stone Aerospace on a variety of robotics projects, almost all with an underwater component. He’s taken advanced, highly maneuverable underwater robots into all kinds of places, from caves in Namibia to under the McMurdo Ice Shelf in Antarctica. He has been involved with the development of the SUNFISH® autonomous underwater vehicle from its beginnings at Stone Aerospace, and now continuing at the spin-out Sunfish, Inc.
