President and Principal Scientist
Acbotics Research, LLC
A Moore Inventor Fellow with more than 15 years marine robotics and underwater acoustics expertise, Dr. Fischell’s work focuses on development of novel sensing payloads, autonomy, signal processing, and acoustic sensing technologies. Fischell was an Assistant Scientist in Applied Ocean Science and Engineering at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) 2017-2021, where she ran the Marine Unmanned Robotics and Acoustics lab. Her work at WHOI included development of multiple novel, physics based underwater sensing solutions for which there are five patents pending. At WHOI, Dr. Fischell was a principal investigator on projects in the areas of autonomous aquaculture monitoring (ARPA-E, NOAA SeaGrant), autonomous vehicle based unexploded ordnance acoustic classification (SERDP), underwater navigation (ONR) and low-cost underwater swarming (Moore Foundation). In 2021, Dr. Fischell left academia to start Acbotics Research, with a hit list of problems that have been irking her for more than a decade. She now splits her time between product development, and consulting on acoustics/marine robotics topics.
Chief Engineer
An electrical engineer with more than 15 years underwater robotics and sensing expertise, Mr. Fladung brings industry experience to the Acbotics team, including EMC/EMI, automated test fixturing, design for manufacture, and production development work. His previous industry job was with Greensea Systems, where he was part of the development team for a ROV crawler and hull grooming system, with responsibilities including development of sonar image mosaicing, object detection, collision avoidance, path planning, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and navigation software. Prior to that he worked at Teledyne Marine Systems where he performed high level systems design on multiple projects including Slocum Glider and buoyancy driven drifting systems and major subassemblies, designed PCBs, and firmware for new generation of underwater vehicles. He was also responsible for all electrical and software portions of a multi-kilowatt low frequency underwater sound source, including signal processing, gui development, data acquisition and servo motor control. Other prior experience includes working for Cornell Lab of Ornithology managing electrical development for whale detection buoys. Mr. Fladung splits his time at Acbotics Research between product development and consulting.
