#1550nm LiDAR | Advantages: safety, range, and performance in various environmental conditions | Enhanced Eye Safety: absorbed more efficiently by cornea and lens of eye, preventing light from reaching sensitive retina | Longer Detection Range | Improved Performance in Adverse Weather Conditions such as as fog, rain, or dust | Reduced Interference from Sunlight and Other Light Sources | More expensive due to complexity and lower production volumes of their components

#ROS 2 | The second version of the Robot Operating System | Communication, compatibility with other operating systems | Authentication and encryption mechanisms | Works natively on Linux, Windows, and macOS | Fast RTPS based on DDS (Data Distribution Service) | Programming languages: C++, Python, Rust

#Dexterous robot | Manipulate objects with precision, adaptability, and efficiency | Dexterity involves fine motor control, coordination, ability to handle a wide range of tasks, often in unstructured environments | Key aspects of robot dexterity include grip, manipulation, tactile sensitivity, agility, and coordination | Robot dexterity is crucial in: manufacturing, healthcare, logistics | Dexterity enables automation in tasks that traditionally require human-like precision

#Agentic AI | Artificial intelligence systems with a degree of autonomy, enabling them to make decisions, take actions, and learn from experiences to achieve specific goals, often with minimal human intervention | Agentic AI systems are designed to operate independently, unlike traditional AI models that rely on predefined instructions or prompts | Reinforcement learning (RL) | Deep neural network (DNN) | Multi-agent system (MAS) | Goal-setting algorithm | Adaptive learning algorithm | Agentic agents focus on autonomy and real-time decision-making in complex scenarios | Ability to determine intent and outcome of processes | Planning and adapting to changes | Ability to self-refine and update instructions without outside intervention | Full autonomy requires creativity and ability to anticipate changing needs before they occur proactively | Agentic AI benefits Industry 4.0 facilities monitoring machinery in real time, predicting failures, scheduling maintenance, reducing downtime, and optimizing asset availability, enabling continuous process optimization, minimizing waste, and enhancing operational efficiency

#Polymetallic nodules | Also called manganese nodules | Contain four essential base metals: cobalt, nickel, copper and manganese, in a single ore | Formed over millions of years by precipitating metals from seawater and sediment pore water | Lie unattached to abyssal seafloor | Do not contain toxic levels of heavy elements | Potential to productize nearly 100% of nodule mass | Designing metallurgical flowsheet that generates no tailings and leaves nearly no solid waste streams behind | International Seabed Authority (ISA) set up U.N. in 1994 | Nauru Ocean Resources Inc. (NORI) ISA license in 2011 | Metals Company holds rights to exploration contracts granted by ISA through NORI, sponsored by Republic of Nauru; and TOML, sponsored by Kingdom of Tonga | Surveying with underwater drones and taking box core samples | Using nodules to create EV batteries expected to generate, on average, 90% less CO2 equivalent emissions than using ores from land-based mines | Lifting polymetallic nodules to surface and taking to shore, and processing with near-zero solid waste, no tailings or deforestation, and with careful attention not to harm integrity of deep-ocean ecosystem | Adaptive management system, a mix of marine hardware and cloud-based artificial intelligence designed to create a virtual replica of deep-sea environment

#Equipping yachts to aid in research | Y.CO | Full service Luxury Yacht Company | Bringing together a dynamic and ever-evolving network of crews, captains, yards, clients, and thought leaders to keep excellence in yachting moving forward | Managing over 100 large yacht operations, from traditional operations to private fleets, special purpose yachts, exploration vessels and regatta racing teams | Yacht Charter | Luxury yachts | Crafting experiences | Waterdports experiences | Bringing on board specialist instructors | Moonen partnership | Moonen Martinique deal

#SmartGyro stabilization technology | Smartgyro stabilizers effectively reduce boat roll through force created by spinning of flywheel inside vacuum-enclosed sphere, which is then transferred into hull structure to counteract wave motion | Gyroscope is spinning wheel (flywheel) or disk that maintains its orientation and resists changes in its axis of rotation | Gyroscopic effect | The law of conservation of angular momentum | Precession motion | Moment of inertia | Gyro stabilizers are mounted in such a way that force that disturbs axis of orientation of flywheel is (mainly) force caused by rolling | When vessel rolls due to wave motion, on-board gyroscope responds by generating forces that oppose these movements | Antiroll effect can be increased by installing more gyros | Precession motion must always be carefully controlled, continuously adjusting and synchronizing its amplitude and its time correlation with incoming sea waves | Motion control system takes care of this important task by means of hardware computing platform, and series of sensors distributed on different parts of machine | Based on data acquired by sensors, (including boat state - roll, pitch and precession rotation angle), algorithms precisely regulate braking effect of hydraulic pistons mounted on side of sphere containing flywheel, and ultimately, synchronize precession motion with rolling wave | Control system is capable of responding to different, ever changing sea conditions rapidly, and maximum antiroll torque is always generated, whatever sea state | Smartgyro modular approach splits stabilizer into smaller, easy-to-handle components | Modular design allows for opening of sphere containing flywheel, to inspect, extract or replace internal components
