In recent years, fish farms have increasingly started using underwater ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) for cleaning the nets that enclose their fish pens. A relatively new one, the StealthCleaner, has a unique triangular form factor.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Triangular ROV cleans up fish farm nets

When it comes to remote-control “underwater robots,” there are consumer drones at one end of the spectrum, and full-on industrial ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) at the other. The new Chasing M2 ROV, however, appears to fall somewhere between the two… Continue reading Chasing M2 could be your personal ROV
If you’ve ever piloted a drone, you’ll know that utilizing a joystick-style controller takes some getting used to. MIT scientists have developed what they claim is a more intuitive control system, that reads the operator’s muscle signals.Continue Readi… Continue reading MIT tech uses muscle signals to control a drone
Everyone has a stack of old infra-red remote controllers lying around, for devices that have long since shuffled off this mortal coil. Containing little more than an application-specific encoder chip, keyboard, and IR LED, they’re of little use unless you happen to have another device that uses the same encoding …read more
For reasons that most rational consumers can’t fathom, a not inconsiderable segment of the population believes the key to their continued survival during a pandemic unprecedented in modern times is to stockpile toilet paper. This leaves those of us not compelled to act based on the whims of our bowels …read more

As ships travel the seas, an assortment of barnacles, mussels, algae and other greeblies accumulate on their hulls. This is definitely troublesome, which is why a new robot-based system has been developed as a possible solution.Continue ReadingCategory… Continue reading Aquatic robot crawls hulls to brush off barnacles
There was a time when you could hold onto a TV or A/V receiver for the better part of the decade and not feel as though you were missing out on the latest and greatest features. But today you’re lucky to get three years out of a “smart” TV before …read more

We often think of submarines as fairly complex pieces of machinery, and for good reason. Keeping the electronics watertight can naturally be quite difficult, and maintaining neutral buoyancy while traveling underwater is a considerable engineering challenge. But it turns out that if you’re willing to skip out on those fairly …read more
