MIT's Remarkable Robotic Boat
Roboats Loaded with Tech to Communicate and Connect Source: MIT C-SAIL In Service, Self-Navigating Amsterdam Canals From the world famous MIT C-SAIL a team of engineers and roboticists created the Roboat, a robotic boat that uses the same autonomous self-driving technology for cars but adapted for the water. That adaptation was extremely innovative. Roboat II has been under development for five years. It is now large enough to carry passengers through the tricky canals in Amsterdam. It does so autonomously. Importantly, the Roboats are capable of communicating and connecting with each other because of greatly advanced control algorithms and navigation systems. That capability opens up new forms of transportation possibilities on water. Tremendous Tech Layered In The Roboat has fo...
