In 1996 Deep Blue, a chess playing computer developed by IBM, became the first computer to win a match against a reigning world chess champion. This victory of machine over human was the culmination of a decade-long development effort and a major milestone. As I observe the ROV SuBastian’s robotic arms moving our underwater tools, … Continued
“We are building technologies that allow us to do more with less. And if you think about the history of oceanography would have been unthinkable even 30 years ago. By pushing forward on the technology we are able to greatly expand our ability to observe our world.” The #AdvancingAutonomy wrap up video explains the expedition’s … Continued
La cantidad de procesos que tienen lugar en el desarrollo de una tarea determinada, como simplemente tomar una taza de café para comenzar nuestro día, es sorprendente. Dejando a un lado la toma de decisiones involucrada en obtener un buen grano y prepararlo a nuestro gusto, simplemente levantar esa taza no es un logro pequeño. … Continued
The series of processes that take place in the development of any given task, no matter how mundane, are astonishing. For example, let us look at having a cup cup of coffee to kickstart the day. Leaving aside the decision-making involved in getting the right kind of beans and brewing them to our liking, simply … Continued
Los océanos son grandes. El universo es aún más grande. Una aguja en un pajar no comienza a describir la dificultad de encontrar algo en el fondo marino, o debajo de la cubierta de hielo de una luna a 588 millones de kilómetros, orbitando a Júpiter. Afortunadamente, Ben Ayton y Eric Timmons no son hombres … Continued
The oceans are big. The universe is even bigger. A needle in a haystack does not begin to describe the difficulty of finding what you are looking for on the Earth’s seafloor, much less below the icy cover of a moon orbiting Jupiter 588 million kilometers away! Luckily, Ben Ayton and Eric Timmons are not … Continued
Engineers look to the ocean as a testbed for new autonomous technologies. These technologies will help us explore Earth’s seafloors, as well as advance the future exploration of ocean-covered worlds elsewhere in our solar system. The field of ocean science is continually moving towards greater automation and the ability to do more science more efficiently. … Continued
Researchers are off the coast of Costa Rica, testing robots by integrating sensors, software, and mechanics to create underwater vehicles that can travel through unknown and potentially hazardous subsea regions. These types of vehicles, once able to make decisions without input from humans, will help us understand the oceans of Earth, as well as other … Continued
“Cocos” y “Caribe” son dos palabras que, combinadas, tienen un significado muy específico para cualquier costarricense. Esos son los nombres de las placas tectónicas que han mantenido al país en guardia durante muchísimo tiempo. Solo durante el mes de noviembre, se registraron 62 terremotos en Costa Rica. La subducción de la placa Cocos debajo de … Continued
