1:30 PM Presentation: Underwater RC Robotic Vehicles by Roger Barski
Underwater remote controlled robots? I didn’t know water and electronics mixed well! How did he do it? If aquatic mechanized creations get your attention then you can’t miss this presentation.
Roger will be presenting information about projects to further the technology of these interesting devices in the field of underwater archeology, also describing the history and development of electronic and imaging equipment for underwater archaeology over the past 25 years.
Also covered in the lecture will be the Nautical Archaeology Group’s (NAG) involvement in designing and building a low cost Tow Camera system and ROV for Lake Michigan shipwreck surveys and exploration.
