363: Squishy Nature

Alana Sherman of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI, @MBARI_News) spoke with us about engineering for deep sea environments and jelly creatures.

Alana’s MBARI page notes that she worked on DeepPIV and the Benthic Rover. She is also a part of the BioInspiration Lab.

282: Tin Can Through a Wet Noodle

We spoke with Laughlin Barker of OpenROV (@OpenROV) about underwater drones, underwater navigation, underwater exploration of the Antarctic, and extraordinarily large (underwater) jellyfish.

Watch this video of a Trident ROV being eaten by a shark… yes, you get to see the inside of a shark.

Laughlin left us with a coupon code for the Trident ROV. Please remember to invite us along on your ROV’ing.
