#OPTT Naval Postgraduate School Orders WAM-V 8 for Littoral Sensing and Autonomous Systems Research

Naval Postgraduate School Orders WAM-V 8 for Littoral Sensing and Autonomous Systems Research
Ocean Power Technologies (OPTT) received an order from the Naval Postgraduate School for a WAM-V 8 maritime drone for coastal research.Researchers in the school's Consortium for Robotics and Unmanned Systems Education & Research plan to use the drone for coastal sensing and autonomous-systems research, including integrating atmospheric and electro-optical instruments. The order expands an existing relationship that included an OPT PowerBuoy deployed in Monterey Bay for oceanographic, meteorological, communications and maritime-sensing research. The WAM-V 8 adds a mobile research asset alongside that persistent sensing infrastructure.

Jitendra Malik's "PSA" on the confusion around VLM, VLA, WAM & God knows what else to be coined in the next submission cycle.
JitendraMalik: Scientific terms should have precision. If we use the terms VLM, VLA, WAM in an indiscriminate fashion, as is becoming common in robotics, we are not helping clarity in communication. Let's keep the historical origins of these terms in mind. VLMs arose as multimodal extensions of LLMs-the training was for tasks like VQA (VIsual Question Answering). These capture the static semantics of the scene behind an image. No dynamics. World Models (e.g. @ylecun , Ha & Schmidhuber 2018) on the other hand are primarily dynamics models, which go back to control theory -1960 (Bellman, Kalman etc.) This makes them natural for robotics planning / policies- I am in a state s, what action a should I perform to get to state s'. In classical control, these models were written down a priori by modeling the physics of the system; today we think of them as learned neural networks trained from temporal data e.g. video, robot trajectories. But the concept is the same. We shouldn't mix this concept with VLMs. Last edited 7:43 PM · Aug 23, 2026 · 63.7K Views
