Surfing big waves
One of the interesting sensors is the
Datawell MOSE-G wave
sensor, which calculates, among other things, the height of the
waves that the robot is traveling through. The image shows the
latest data from the shakedown cruise. There are some data dropouts
(don't ask!) but if you look closely at the
data
you'll see some 6 meter (20ish feet!) waves on the way down to
Monterey. Their course through the ocean didn't even wiggle. There
are supposed to be some storms coming up this week, should be
entertaining. The 'bots will probably just say "
Yippee!"
