  "account": "Deep-sea exploration habitats present unique challenges for autonomous, low-power deployments. Limited power, bandwidth, compute resources, and reliability make it difficult to run rich sensor modalities continuously. Cross-modal knowledge distillation (CMKD) offers a promising solution by teaching cheap sensors to approximate the understanding of expensive ones.",

While experimenting with a small autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) prototype in a shallow test tank, I watched a multi-modal perception stack — stereo cameras, a forward-scan sonar,…",
