My underwater robot | David Lang
David Lang is a maker who taught himself to become an amateur oceanographer — or, he taught a robot to be one for him. In a charming talk Lang, a TED Fellow, shows how he and a network of ocean lovers teamed up to build open-sourced, low-cost underwater explorers.
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design — plus science, business, global issues, the arts and much more.

I'm sending you good thoughts and my respect for the sharing of information. Some people do not know how to separate the stone age. Becoming more of those whose consciousness has evolved. Greetings from the heart ~
At first I thought the title said underwear robot 🙂
I like it, looks like a little typewriter, I'd call it the oceanwriter, because it will probably write some history! Good luck guys!
Ill take ten….(futurama reference)
Ted Talks even limits itself on specific talks… such a shame. I will start watching TED, when they actually have people talk about free energies. Peace.
I hoped they would show some amazing underwater footage
so it's a drone…?
Awesome! I want one.
If you would like more (geeky) detail on this, search for "floss openrov" where there is an hour long video interview
But without government who would fund this? Don't private entities only do this for profit? Sorry you people that think government has to take all our money "because people don't know what the fuck to do with it" and spend it for us, I'd rather my tax money go to businesses that get the job done and to people like this guy than used to through non-violent people in jail, start and continue wars, and push debt, forced labor and dependency on people.
This is the glorious future of the free market, and I am glad the internet has squeezed out such an opportunity for people to get funding by donation and trust without being some thing for only "investors" or left to suited up gate keepers limiting and controlling who gets an opportunity.
interesting
Is anyone ever going to build "Ocean Sailing Robotic Cleaning type of ROV's " ,that uses wind power,alternate on board power systems that can help clean vast oceans that is currently filled with all types of human created material pollutant's's..like plastics.., etc ? Technologies and flat forms have arrived, humans need more thinkers and doers to come together to implement more than handful of interesting future ideas to solve this earth's many problems.
