A new Caltech robot could use machine learning to navigate through turbulent and unknown terrains in the ocean.
An AI-powered ocean-surveying robot from Caltech can learn to navigate without remote controls or engineers.The ocean is big, and our attempts to understand it are still largely surface-deep. According to the, around 80 percent of the big blue is “unmapped, unobserved, and unexplored.”
. It has motors for swimming around, is weighted to stay upright, and has sensors that can detect pressure, depth, acceleration, and orientation. Everything that CARL does is powered by a microcontroller inside, which has a 1-megabyte processor that’s smaller than a postage stamp. CARL’s programming enables it to remember similar paths it has taken in previous missions, and “over repeated experiences, get better and better at sampling the ocean with less time and less energy,” Gunnarson adds.
