Twin Robots Scope Out Titanic, Europa Next?
jmichaelg writes "Wired is running an article on a pair of submersible robots that work in tandem to film underwater scenes. One robot illuminates a scene by placing the light source as close as possible to the object being filmed while the other bot manuevers for the best camera angle. That, and a host of other innovations, makes the pair significantly different than the equipment used when the Titanic was originally filmed. Significant enough that JPL has expressed an interest in using the technology to swim in Europa's seas. How JPL will overcome the time delay isn't mentioned but it's an interesting read nonetheless."
Suck it down, Trebek!
stupid motherfuckers.
Blaze a trail to the New World
nice karma whoring attempt, but if you had read the article , you'd have seen there are already holes, caused by "volcanic activity". although i'm betting its really giant flaming monsters who will attack earth upon us disturbing them.
or has anyone else realized how much of a fake and how much of a con artist Kimble is? His "mega corporation" is close to bankrupt and he was never a "famous" hacker.. just a really annoying DDoSer.. i really hope you're reading this Kimble.. so you could shut your fat mouth up about how amazing you are.. because you can't hack shit!
Ok, someone's modding my posts down because of my name, despite them being thoughtful and on-topic. Gimme a friggin break!
There's a Mercedes gap too. I want one and can't afford one, but it's not government's job to do anything about it.
yuo sure r godo at nto getitng fp.
How JPL will overcome the time delay isn't mentioned but it's an interesting read nonetheless. When there is a time delay involved, one answer is to make the robots so smart that they can function on their own.
The Robot AI Mind in Forth and in JavaScript AI Tutorial Format has escaped into the Web wilds and is racing into the future towards Technological Singularity (q.v.), already having been ported into Visual Basic amd into Java as Mind.JAVA. Robots are about to become independent and join with us humans in the exploration of space.
