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!!

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 Labs 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.

What's better than a robot inspired by bees? A robot inspired by bees that can swim. Researchers led by a team at Harvard University have developed a tiny, 175-milligram (about two feathers) device with insect-inspired wings that can both flap and rotate, allowing it to either fly above the ground or swim in shallo

PIRatE Labs 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.
