Welcome to The Business of Aquaculture! This week, we dive beyond the splashy headlines into the quiet revolution happening under the waves with Dr. James Bellingham—world-renowned robotics pioneer, executive director of the Johns Hopkins Institute for Assured Autonomy, and Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of exploration robotics. He's also the author of How Are Marine Robots Shaping Our Future?From the Arctic to the Antarctic, Dr. Bellingham has led two dozen AUV (autonomous underwater vehicle) expeditions through crushing pressure, freezing darkness, and some very opinionated currents. In this episode, we explore how marine robots are already transforming aquaculture management, climate data collection, offshore energy scouting, and even shipwreck discovery. We dig into:How ocean forces, habitats, and creatures shape our daily lives—and the urgent environmental threats robotics can address.Real-world deployments, from wreck recovery to deep-sea resource mapping—and what's next for industry.The ethics and safety playbook: accountability, regulation, and trust as autonomy scales.If you care about sustainable seafood, resilient supply chains, and smarter decisions at sea, this conversation is your sonar ping. Grab your fins—no human piloting required.Support the show
Very few people get paid to visit shipwrecks—but for Stephanie Gandulla, it's all part of the job. Stephanie is a scuba diver, maritime archeologist, and resource protection coordinator for the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary. The agency safeguards Lake Huron's historic shipwrecks, many of which have yet to be discovered. That's where Katie Skinner comes in. She's an assistant professor at the University of Michigan and the director of the school's Field Robotics Group. Skinner and her team have been developing autonomous underwater vehicles that can find new shipwreck sites, all on their own. For humans, a search is costly, time-consuming, manual work. But for AI? Skinner thinks it could help us find answers in a snap. On this episode, Stephanie and Katie talk about using AI to find shipwrecks in a literal lake of data, so that they can spend less time searching and more time exploring—as only humans can do.You can learn more about some of the people and projects featured in this episode, including… The Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary at thunderbay.noaa.govKatie Skinner and the University of Michigan's Field Robotics Group at fieldrobotics.engin.umich.eduPrevious efforts to autonomously map Thunder Bay's historical shipwrecks at theverge.com/2020/3/5/21157791/drone-autonomous-boat-ben-shipwreck-alley-unh-noaa-great-lakes-thunder-bay~ ~ ~Working Smarter is brought to you by Dropbox Dash—the AI universal search and knowledge management tool from Dropbox.

In this lively episode of The Advisory Board Podcast, host Dave Hansen sits down with Chris Baker, President of Franchise Flippers, to discuss the pressing issue of the "Boomer Retirement Crisis" and its significant impact on franchising. Chris shares how nearly 60% of all franchises are currently owned by baby boomers, many of whom are nearing retirement, presenting both challenges and opportunities for the industry. The episode delves into the importance of succession planning, the growing number of franchise resales, and the need for proactive franchise strategies to navigate this "gray tsunami."Chris kicks off the conversation with a fun anecdote about how he lost his first job in the U.S. — thanks to a long-awaited $50 tip from none other than Bill Murray. From there, the episode transitions into more serious discussions on franchise resales, exploring how unplanned exits and non-renewals can damage brand equity. Chris explains the importance of helping franchisees exit gracefully and with dignity, which in turn preserves the health of the overall franchise system.The two also cover how new franchisees can inject fresh energy and raise average unit volume (AUV) after acquiring underperforming territories. The episode is filled with actionable advice for franchise owners and franchisors, like the importance of proper exit planning, using valuation data to set realistic expectations, and offering various resale strategies to franchisees. Dave and Chris emphasize that, with nearly half a million franchises needing to transition in the next 5-10 years, now is the time for brands to get ahead of the curve.Finally, a big thank you to our sponsor, ClientTether, for making this episode possible.

Sonar data from a deep sea drone recently shed light on one of aviation's most enduring mysteries: the disappearance of Amelia Earhart. . By pursuing the missing aircraft using the “Date Line theory,” Deep Sea Vision, a South Carolina-based marine robotics firm, searched across 5,200 square miles of the Pacific Ocean floor, more than all previous searches combined. Equipped with a modified version of the company's flagship HUGIN 6000 commercial autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), the DSV team discovered an image which mirrors the unique dual tails and scale of Earhart's aircraft. . To learn more about this intriguing technology and what's next when it comes to verifying this discovery, we sat down with Tony Romeo, CEO, Deep Sea Vision. Listen in as he shares his unique background, the power of his company's AUV technology, and what's next for the future of underwater exploration. . We'd love to hear from you.

Janet Watt, U.S. Geological Survey Investigating the geologic record of shallow megathrust behavior is imperative for estimating the earthquake hazard and tsunamigenic potential along the Cascadia subduction zone. Ship-borne sparker seismic imaging and multibeam mapping is integrated with targeted autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) bathymetry and sub-bottom data to document along-strike variability in seafloor morphology and deformation mode along the Cascadia subduction zone frontal thrust offshore Oregon and northern California in unprecedented detail. The combined use of high- and ultra-high-resolution bathymetric (30-m to 1-m grids) and seismic imaging (vertical resolution ranging from 2 m to centimeters) allows us to evaluate geologic evidence for co-seismic activation of frontal thrust structures. Multi-scale data synthesis enables investigation of linkages between shallow deformation style and deeper decollement structure and accretionary mode. The ~580-km-long frontal thrust splay fault system between Astoria and Eel Canyons is divided into seven sections based on along-strike variability in shallow structure and seafloor morphology. Many late Pleistocene to Holocene active fault strands within 10 km of the deformation front exhibit both geomorphic and stratigraphic evidence for coseismic activation. The high degree of variability in detailed shallow structure and morphology along the frontal thrust reflects changes in the crustal-scale frontal thrust fault geometry and décollement level. We present a conceptual model that links the along-strike variability in frontal thrust morpho-tectonics to differences in accretionary mode. Results suggest shallow megathrust rupture including co-seismic activation of frontal thrust splay faults is a common rupture mode along much of the Cascadia margin that should be considered in future earthquake and tsunami rupture models and hazard assessments.

Professor Lucy Blue speaks to Dr Lisa Briggs and Dr Peter Campbell from the University of Cranfield who have been searching the deep waters of the Straits of Sicily using micro-AUVs - autonomous underwater vehicles. Deployment of these small, agile vehicles has enabled the team to map large areas of this busy maritime highway of the Mediterranean. The team aim to locate historic remains and ancient shipwrecks, and have consulted local fisherman for potential targets as they trawl the seabed and often snag remains in their nets, even including statues. These mini autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) can be deployed in multiples, thus covering large areas of the seabed. They are relatively cheap to purchase and easier to use and programme than larger AUV's. Fitted with cameras might they become a principal tool not only for maritime archaeology, but also other disciplines such as marine biology. Learn how these vehicles have democratised survey previously limited to researchers with much larger budgets.

Today's guest is Oliver Gunasekara, co-founder and CEO at Impossible Metals. If we're to electrify everything, we need an order of magnitude more batteries and wiring. All of this requires metals including nickel, cobalt, lithium, manganese, and copper. More metals mean… you guessed it, more mining. Today's land-based mining practices are fraught with externalities that vary by material, but often include deforestation and land degradation, incredible amounts of water use, pollution via mine tailings, giant diesel trucks, and in some cases even child labor. And what's more, the supply chains for many of these resources often flow to China, which has made massive investments in securing access for China-based battery companies. And yet, in certain expanses of our deep ocean, there are seabeds full of golf ball-sized nodules of metal like nickel and cobalt that have naturally formed over millennia. Impossible Metals is helping us realize an electrified future by developing underwater autonomous robots that mine metals for EV batteries in the deep sea. The company is developing an audacious moonshot-like technology to sustainably harvest trillions of dollars of undersea metals and disrupt the EV battery supply chain in the process. Buckle up, this discussion is rich and complex. In this episode, we cover:The state of mining todayAn overview of key battery metals, including nickel cobalt manganese (NCM), cobalt, manganese, and lithiumShortfalls in fulfilling the supply chainOliver's journey in startups and how he transitioned to climate techAn overview of deep sea minerals and their significanceThe process for mining materials including regulationsWhere we are today in terms of commercial mining of deep-sea mineralsScientific exploration required to do the workA description of Impossible Metals' autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs)How robotics help the AUV search for metals while minimizing the impact on sea lifeWhere the company is today and its goals for reducing the need for new minesCosts associated with Impossible Metals' solution compared to dredging and new minesImpacts on the supply chain for batteriesRole of the Inflation Reduction Act in funding manufacturing and productionFinal steps for refining and manufacturing materials into batteriesHow Oliver approaches company formulation with the mission of doing goodWhere the company is today and why the work is importantGet connected: Cody Simms Twitter / LinkedInOliver Gunasekara / LinkedInImpossible Metals / LinkedInMCJ Podcast / Collective*You can also reach us via email at info@mcjcollective.com, where we encourage you to share your feedback on episodes and suggestions for future topics or guests.Episode recorded on January 10, 2023.

Début octobre, la Marine française a commencé une première campagne d'exploration des fonds marins allant jusqu'à 6000 mètres à l'aide d'un drone. L'idée est en effet de mieux connaître les fonds marins dans un but militaire, mais cette campagne pourrait aussi avoir un certain intérêt sur le plan écologique et scientifique.Le drone en question porte le nom de Hugin, aussi connu comme étant un drone sous-marin autonome, loué auprès du norvégien Kongsberg Maritime d'après les précisions de la Direction générale de l'armement, qui explique également que l'opération devrait coûter environ quatre millions d'euros pour plusieurs sorties en mer. Plus précisément, cette campagne vise à définir les équipements dont la France doit se doter dans le cadre de sa stratégie pour les fonds marins, annoncée en février. En effet, les fonds marins sont d'une importance capitale pour l'armée française, car c'est notamment là que peuvent survenir d'importantes menaces comme les quatre énormes fuites de gaz survenues sur les deux gazoducs Nord Stream reliant la Russie à l'Allemagne. Des fuites provoquées selon les premières enquêtes par un sabotage.Ceci dit, les fonds marins sont longtemps restés hors de portée par manque de technologie suffisamment performante. Aujourd'hui, l'intérêt que leur portent les États et les entreprises est clairement croissant, que ce soit pour l'extraction pétrolière et gazière, l'acheminement énergétique ou bien la pose de câbles sous-marins, par lesquels transitent aujourd'hui 99% des communications numériques mondiales. Au vu du contexte mondial actuel, le manque de carburant, la possible pénurie d'énergie cet hiver et les besoins de capacités internet puissantes, vous comprenez bien pourquoi de nombreux pays veulent les exploiter. Côté géographie, la France est clairement privilégiée grâce à la deuxième plus vaste zone économique exclusive au monde. Plus que les ressources, l'hexagone souhaite surtout préserver sa liberté d'action maritime et protéger ses intérêts grâce à deux robots sous-marins qui surveillent et interviennent avec un bras dans les fonds marins. Problème, ces derniers ne vont pas à plus de 2000 mètres de profondeur, d'où l'idée de s'équiper d'un drone AUV pour pouvoir atteindre 6000 mètres et ainsi être en mesure de couvrir 97% des fonds marins.Plus concrètement, la France se concentre désormais sur les zones abyssales, soit au-delà de 4000 m de fond. Des profondeurs qui restent néanmoins très mal connues puisque 95 % des abysses restent inexplorés à l'heure actuelle. Quels secrets nous cachent-elles ? D'après la communauté scientifique, leur exploration pourrait apporter de nombreuses informations quant à l'apparition de la vie sur Terre. Les grands fonds sont en effet cartographiés avec bien moins de précision que la Lune. L'Humanité a d'ailleurs envoyé plus d'humains dans l'espace que dans les profondeurs des océans jusqu'à ce jour.

https://www.armatusoceanic.com/podcast/022-dive-streaming One of the most exciting parts of our job is going to places that no one has ever been before and seeing things that no one has ever seen. It turns out, we were making that far harder than it needs to be, we can do all this from home! Several of the big names in deep-sea exploration live-stream (or dive-stream if we're being cute). With just a few seconds delay, you can see deep-sea exploration as it happens and may be present for very significant finds. You never know what you're going to find down there. The big players in this space are the Schmidt Ocean Institute, Nautilus Live from the Ocean Exploration Trust and Ocean Exploration/Okeanos Explorer from NOAA. We are lucky enough to chat with Kasey Cantwell, the Operations Chief of the NOAA Ocean Exploration Expeditions and Exploration Division. We talk about the amazing opportunities this new way of doing science presents. From allowing 300 experts to take part, to swapping out your expert team when you find something unexpected and even the physical and societal barriers that can be removed. But it's not just about getting science done, it's about sharing these experiences with everyone. Online communities are forming around these streams and illustrations, poetry and memes are just as valid outputs. In recent news we hear how preparations are going for Alan's upcoming cruise. We talk about the octopus garden providing a nice warm spot to brood eggs, living underwater for long periods of time and the evolution of early vamperoids. No episode would be complete without our regular check-in with Don Walsh to hear about his involvement with the early days of ROV and AUV research. Check out our podcast merch!

Ahoy Geoholics! The boys took a 1-hour tour this week with off-shore surveyor Landon Jakse. Landon is not only an intelligent (fellow SIU-C grad...Go Salukis!), handsome man that can cook and rebuild Triumphs, he is also a PM in the offshore survey and positioning operations for Oceaneering. This was such an interesting conversation about a survey "discipline" that is rarely talked about. Some items discussed included Offshore geoscience, AUV's, ROS', oil & gas, Roy Frank, the crazy challenges of this type of surveying and the fact that offshore surveying is a Geoholics wet dream! Ladon shares details about some career defining projects that he has worked on as well as how offshore surveying may would be a great career path for anyone looking for a new challenge and to do something completely different. PJ geeks out...BS freaks out and DD nearly broke his ankle. Jacques Cousteau was quoted. Music for this episode by Turnpike Troubadours!

Few topics fire the imagination like undersea technology and this man is a deep sea rockstar! Engineer Nic Radford develops subsea robots. Houston Mechatronics wants to take underwater robotics to a new level by developing an untethered way to work underwater. Its Aquanaut is like a subsea robot transformer; it moves through water like an AUV, then transforms into an ROV to perform its duties. You'll love this interview! Engineer Nic Radford is a serial entrepreneur and roboticist. He co-founded and is Chief Technology Officer of Houston Mechatronics, a subsea robotics company.

Boaty McBoatface may be better known for its name than for its oceangoing prowess. But the autonomous underwater vehicle and darling of the internet is headed to greater things: embarking on the longest journey of an AUV by far, with an uninterrupted, roughly 2,000-mile crossing of the Arctic Ocean. The submersible robot got its moniker when it became the consolation prize in a 2016 publicity stunt.
Agnes Lisik Have you ever wondered where your seafood comes from? Do you know if this natural renewable resource is sustainable? Are you aware that overfishing is still a big problem in Europe and globally? Have you heard of pirate fishing in the 21st century? This session will address the problem of overfishing, its causes and possible solutions. Currently, only a minority of European fish stocks can be considered well managed, and although there is serious concern about the state of some fisheries, the potential for recovery is huge and has been quantified by scientists. In order to maintain healthy marine ecosystems, we need to be informed and keep our governments accountable over their decisions that concern the environment and our future. Technology can help to manage fish stocks and marine protected areas in a better and more transparent way. Satellite systems monitor fishing vessels' activity, and the big data generated can be visualized in a publically accessible way. In addition, mobile applications and websites help fish identification, and blockchain use may increase seafood traceability. Technology also goes hand in hand with research and is indispensable for aiding in the exploration of the oceans. Monitoring can be conducted on the surface by drones and underwater by gliders (AUV), while we glimpse the deep-sea bottom by means of submarine robots (ROV). All these devices can be used to better know and protect our oceans. Join this session and release the Kraken!
International agreement on armed UAS import/export, quadcopter power by induction, California allows first responders to take out drones, a droneport concept, drones interrupting airport operations, an underwater UAV launch, and a very different concept for an aerial video platform. News White House Rolls Out Armed Drone Declaration The U.S. State Department calls it the first step toward creating global norms for the import and export of armed unmanned systems. More than 40 countries have agreed to the one-page Joint Declaration for the Export and Subsequent Use of Armed or Strike-Enabled Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). [PDF] Drone Flies 12 CM on Wireless Power Is transmitting power wirelessly, through thin air, science fiction? Maybe not. A quadcopter flew a short distance in a proof of concept demo. The Wirelessly Powered Quadrotor video shows a quadrotor being powered completely wirelessly via magnetic induction. Jerry Brown Lets Emergency Responders Take out Drones California Governor Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 807, under which “An emergency responder shall not be liable for any damage to an unmanned aircraft or unmanned aircraft system, if that damage was caused while the emergency responder was providing, and the unmanned aircraft or unmanned aircraft system was interfering with, the operation, support, or enabling of the emergency services…” Droneports for the Future? Jonathan Daniels, CEO, and founder of Praxis Aerospace Concepts International Inc., wants to partner with the FAA and develop a droneport in Boulder City, Nevada. Initially used to test drone landings and departures without interfering with manned aircraft, the long-term concept is support for high volume drone movements. UAV activity disrupts Dubai Airport operations Operations at Dubai International Airport were disrupted for almost an hour due to unauthorized unmanned aerial vehicle activity. This wasn't the first time, either. United Arab Emirates (UAE) state Abu Dhabi has banned drone sales to the public because of the potential threat they pose to civil aviation. First Underwater Unmanned Aircraft Launch from an AUV In a cross-domain command and control event hosted by the U.S. Navy, a small Vector Hawk UAV was launched from a Marlin autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). At the same time, the Submaran unmanned surface vehicle (USV) developed by Ocean Aero provided surface reconnaissance and surveillance. Introducing the Tesla Drone The Tesla Drone is a concept from U.K. based designer, Fraser Leid. Dual propellers can operate horizontally or vertically and provide enough stability that a gimbal is not required. The MagDock acts as a wireless charging station offering a 60 minute flight time from the 10,000 mAh Li-ion Powercell® battery.

The X-47B UCAS-D team wins the Collier Trophy, drones and Bluefins and the search for Malaysia Flight 370, the UK CAA convicts a drone pilot, and listener feedback. The News: Legendary Collier Trophy Awarded to X-47B Team The 2013 Robert J. Collier Trophy has been awarded to the X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System Demonstration (UCAS-D) team by the National Aeronautic Association. The team was selected for "developing and demonstrating the first unmanned, autonomous air system operating from an aircraft carrier." How Drones Could Have Helped Find Malaysia Air Flight 370 UAVs could be used more extensively for search and rescue operations. We have aircraft like the AeroVironment Global Observer, Lockheed Martin's High Altitude Airship, and Boeing's Phantom Eye. Hopefully someday soon these and others could be used for missions like the search for MH 370. Boston-Area Underwater Robot To Aid Search For Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 The Bluefin-21 from Bluefin Robotics is an 18 foot autonomous underwater vehicles, or AUV, that uses side-scan sonars to create a mosaic image, like an ultrasound. UK's first drone conviction will bankrupt me, says Cumbrian man The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) prosecuted a man for the dangerous and illegal flying an unmanned aircraft near a nuclear submarine testing facility.

Lehmann Aviation The LA100 is called a flying platform for GoPro users. It's RTF, fixed wing, fully autonomous, with communications via WiFi, and a five minute flight time. E-Waste Quadcopter Lifts Your Spirits While Keeping Costs Down A quadcopter made out of junk: plywood, 140mm PC fans over-driven to 15,000 RPM by a 24V Dewalt cordless tool battery. Its controlled by an Arduino running MultiWii control software using sensors from a Nintendo Wii remote. Its dated April 1, but a fun idea nonetheless.
