Tratar de trabajar en cerámica escultórica durante una expedición oceanográfica que se enfoca principalmente en el desarrollo de robots autónomos puede sonar algo extraño. Ok, probablemente lo sea, pero mi interés en creación y exploración interdisciplinaria, y circunstancias azarosas me trajeron al Falkor, en esta expedición frente a la costa de Costa Rica. Me encuentro … Continued
Trying to work with clay during an oceanographic expedition focusing primary on autonomous robotic development might sound a little crazy. Ok, probably it is. However, my interest in interdisciplinary creation and exploration, plus serendipitous circumstances, put me here on the Falkor, sailing off the coast of Costa Rica. I am here with a group of … Continued
Autonomous and interactive robotic seafloor mapping systems were used on an expedition aboard research vessel Falkor in the southern Gulf of California, leading scientists to a new hydrothermal vent field and enabling the discovery of new deep-sea organisms. SOUTHERN PESCADERO BASIN, GULF OF CALIFORNIA – A spectacular new hydrothermal vent field, named JaichMatt, has been … Continued
