This is a media curation page for the PIRatE Lab's AARR Program. We are developing practical, low cost programs to monitor resources in our coastal zone (the land near the ocean and the ocean near the land) with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs aka "drones") overhead and subtidal Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) . Enjoy!!

This is crazy talk. The U.S. should let a belligerent take its robots?!?

PIRatE Lab's insight:
While all these market predictions have to be taken with a grain of salt, the market predictors should be a bit more on point with the ROV/AUV market relative to their insane guesses about the UAS marketplace.

The Fathom One is designed to make amateur photography beneath the waves a bit more accessible, with a modular design and an HD camera for adventurers taking the plunge into underwater exploration.
PIRatE Lab's insight:
Could be cool. But the small size = small thrusters = problem controlling in open ocean and the hundreds of meters depth range is actually limited by their 30m tether.

An autonomous starfish-killing robot will be ready for field trials on the Great Barrier Reef this month, researchers say.
PIRatE Lab's insight:
Coolest way to kill crown-of-thorns yet! Although, I am not sure that this "injection" will necessarily have the desired outcome.
