Connected Exploration

Eric Stackpole will talk about the new possibilities for exploration using the OpenROV underwater platform.

The face of exploration is changing. Affordable tools, open standards, and connected enthusiasm are opening up new possibilities for the frontiers of discovery. OpenROV has created a low-cost, submersible Remotely Operated Vehicle that allows everyday people to explore previously unseen parts of the underwater world. By expanding the group of people with access to capable tools, we hope to democratize exploration and drastically increase the number of discoveries being made about the depths of our planet.
