Robots With ‘Swarm Intelligence’ to Repair the World’s Dying Reefs
- Coralbots Team wrote in Technology, Environment and SustainabilityCoral gardening by humans is time-consuming, restricted to small areas, and impossible in the deep sea because of human diving limits. Our project, Coralbots, advances the current state-of-the art by creating a team of autonomous underwater robots with artificial intelligence to repair coral reefs. Coralbots is a truly cross-disciplinary project based at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland and the Autonomous Undersea Institute in the U.S. The team has expertise in marine biology (Dr. Lea-Anne Henry), artificial intelligence (Prof. David Corne), computer vision (Dr. Neil Robertson) and autonomous underwater robotics (Prof. David Lane and Dr. Richard Blidberg).

The view from DUMBO at night is beyond beautiful.

As close to “lost in translation” I’ve gotten so far.
New Flickr test on Flickr.
On Dec 26th, I will start a safari trip in Africa (with stops in Botswana and Zambia).
I’ll be staying in this.
The most extensive camping I’ve ever done is one night in a Kansas backyard. I’m in for an experience.
The first handful of listens to this album, I was totally underwhelmed. I sorta put it to the side for awhile. I picked it back up earlier this week (months after it was released), and it started to grow on me. This morning though, on about my 2nd or 3rd time through it this week, it finally smacked me. Just like every other Sigur Ros album has in the past. If you put Valtari aside like I did at first, give it another shot. It grows.
