Hi, I'm deep-sea robotics expert Jim Bellingham. Ask me anything!

Hi Reddit—I'm Jim Bellingham, a professor at Johns Hopkins working in exploration robotics. I develop small, high-performance autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and have led research expeditions around the world, including the Antarctic, North Atlantic, South Pacific, and Arctic Oceans. My work focuses on robots that explore the seafloor and physical ocean—its temperature, salinity, and currents—and the microbial world within it. I recently published a book, How Are Marine Robots Shaping Our Future? about how robotics is transforming scientific discovery, enabling new technologies, and pushing into extreme environments. Learn more here: https://www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/53664/how-are-marine-robots-shaping-our-future Ask me anything about ocean robotics, exploration, or what it’s like to send robots into some of the most remote places on Earth. We can also talk about oceans on other worlds! https://preview.redd.it/r5pfno6ru7sg1.jpg?width=1577&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2565e838ca3f13ea268356127d664e1a9b8042d1 submitted by /u/ProceedingAnyway [link] [comments]
