Pacific Crossing (PacX) Challenge
Liquid Robotics' wave gliders are amazingly robust and capable of
traveling long distances and staying at sea for a long time. Mostly
for the fun of it, we're sending four robots across the Pacific to
attempt to travel the longest distance at sea ever completed by an
unmanned marine vehicle. They're all going together towards Hawaii
and then two are heading to Japan and two are heading to Australia.
They'll all be outfitted with a pile of interesting sensors. We're
running a
contest for marine
scientists and students to come up with interesting science that we
can do along the way. If you're interested, we'd love to see your
entry.
