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!!

Virgin Galactic fatal crash sends tremors through commercial space industry
PIRatE Labs insight:
There are many reasons to develop remotely piloted systems. While we are still in need of physically going to places ourselves at times, the coast and mechanics of doing so can be daunting. We should keep exploring and pushing, but Remotely Piloted Systems can help get us to some places and illuminate some things more cheaply and with less risk.

Metal 3D printing seems to be the most advanced established form of 3D printing there is to date. Although the printing of plastics for medical devices and the promise of glass 3D printing both offer potentially revolutionary qualities, the capabilities granted by metal 3D printing are currently changing billion dollar industries at an incredibly rapid pace. Mega companies like Boeing and GE Aviation are just two out of many industry leaders investing millions in additive manufacturing for metal components and rapid prototyping. Via Chuck Sherwood, Senior Associate, TeleDimensions, Inc
PIRatE Labs insight:
We currently utilize plastic printers, but the advent of metal printing (in an affordable setting) would radically improve the capacity of our "micro" design and fabrication efforts.
