emergentfutures: Miniature Robots to Swarm the Oceans Swarms of soup-can-sized robots will soon plunge into the ocean seeking data on poorly understood phenomena from currents to biology. With $2.5 million in new funding from the National Science Foundation, researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography will create and deploy fleets of autonomous underwater explorers (AUEs) to explore the depths.

Miniature Robots to Swarm the Oceans

Swarms of soup-can-sized robots will soon plunge into the ocean seeking data on poorly understood phenomena from currents to biology.

Our water infrastructure (like the rest of the world) is still largely fixated in the Deakin era, and our operational practices are definitely Sumerian/Babylonian in nature (although admittedly no longer temple-based) and suffer from low efficiency. This does not augur well for the future. It is essential to modernise the water infrastructure so as to improve water efficiency and in general achieve a more sustainable socioeconomic and environmental water-management outcome within the ill-understood constraint of the available water resource.End quote.

Surface Area Required To Solar Power The World | Information Is Beautiful According to the United Nations 170,000 square kilometers of forest is destroyed each year. If we constructed solar farms at the same rate, we would be finished in 3 years. New: I did a little revisioning, adding another power source we possibly haven’t considered.

The SmarterCities Scan: Let's build an open model with shared imagination and deep analytics

Thu 01 Oct ∞ Permalink
IBM Launches New Advanced Analytics Center In New York, SmarterCities Scan social media project …IBM is also partnering with New York-based Tumblr to launch the Smarter Cities Scan, a social media project in crowdsourced research and open knowledge exchange. The initiative is using advanced IBM analytics technology to scan participants’ input to build a public blueprint for Smarter Cities. The output will be available to cities and grass-roots groups to use as a foundation for projects to make urban centers smarter via a Smarter Cities Open Model. IBM will also leverage this open model via the IBM Business Analytics Center in New York and the other centers around the world.
