Will Collaborative Robots Be The Future Of Ship Hull Maintenance?
The maintenance of ocean-going vessels is of prime importance. Cleaning a ship’s hull represents both a logistical challenge and high monetary cost, yet a failure to carry this out has consequences on the smooth passage of the ship as well as the risk of overlooking maintenance issues.
The average cost of cleaning a ship’s hull is between 150,000 to 300,000 Australian dollars. It takes around 8 days to complete and means the vessel is out of service during that time. The current method of...

The Light Load: Raven-on-drone violence nothing to crow about
After suspending service following a series of terrifying raven attacks, Wing Aviation has resumed drone deliveries near Canberra, Australia, on the theory that the aggressive beasts’ hash is well and truly settled.
Per an ornithologist, the trouble was a couple of helicopter-parenting ravens that were rearing hatchlings nearby. The chicks now apparently having flown north, er, south for the winter — or summer (dang equator!) — the birdman told a news organization by the fun name DroneDJ that...
