people ask me what I did today

I dumped a robot into the water at 4 knots of current

@audrlo gotta pull all nighters sometimes :x

[Wilson Ler @LerWilson]

so much of the ocean is still unexplored and underutilized, we need a better way to utilize it sustainably

[jerica @jerica_kuah]

everyone is talking about self-driving cars and humanoid robots.

nobody is talking about what happens when full autonomy hits the ocean.

inspection, harvesting, infrastructure, exploration. all of it, autonomous, running 24/7 without a human in the loop.

that world is closer than you think. and it starts underwater.

the sea is scary but seafood is tasty 😬

Jirobotics at @fdotinc Canopy Demo Day is building underwater robots because one founder's Navy comrades lost limbs constructing bridges underwater:

"Wilson was part of the Singapore Navy, constructing bridges underwater. It was super dangerous because some of his comrades actually lost their limbs from doing so."

"Out at sea, it's really scary. It's a super harsh environment. I think humans are meant to be on land."

"We start with fish farms because they're maybe 20 meters deep. Your subsea cables, your underwater data centers, they are way deeper than that. The biggest challenge is vision. It's super dark and murky underwater. Communication gets really terrible because you're really deep. It's gonna take a lot of time for data to go all the way up." - @jerica_kuah @LerWilson

@anis_neyo every electric car shd be equipped with this 👀

@Aman25m DM'ed!

[Wilson Ler @LerWilson]

the sea is no joke

[jerica @jerica_kuah]

nobody talks about how dangerous underwater work actually is.

divers go down so we can inspect pipelines, clean nets, fix infrastructure.

some don't come back.

this is the job we're automating. not because it's a good market. because it matters.

@anis_neyo @BoRedfearn DM’ed!

@FeiyouGuo @jerica_kuah @fdotinc we look so much younger in this picture for some reason 😮 looks like we aged these past 5 weeks

@mathildeanita @roland_graser @jerica_kuah you did pretty well! 🔥
