other way around.For example, in the next decade there will be a greater proliferation of autonomous vehicles, whilst energy production and transmission will increasingly become the domain of algorithms rather than people.The next ten years will also be defined as an era of precision, particularly in healthcare, food, and materials science. Agriculture and aquaculture will look toward robotics in combination with IoT-based and machine learning technologies to optimize crops and seafood at reduced cost. Additionally, increasingly precise sensor data will help the food industry meet expectations
Deep Ocean Exploration is the 21st Century ‘Space Race’
, understand and utilize the bounty of resources around us to create a better life. We have come a long way from the stone tools of our ancestors; the tools of today take the form of technology, computers, artificial intelligence and robots which we use very effectively in a number of areas including healthcare, education, transportation, manufacturing and communication. Many of these advances have been made possible by government leadership that spurs innovation, healthy competition and, ultimately, economic prosperity.One such example is the government’s push to reach space in the 1960s &ndash
Smarter Ocean Robotics
It is evident by now that we are in a robotics revolution. In almost every industry, from healthcare to hospitality, robots are emerging that can successfully complete a task without the human element. Artificial intelligence (AI) is also advancing at phenomenal rates beyond what some imagined possible this decade. The marine sectors have embraced robotics in data collection and exploration, but the infancy of AI in our industry delays progress toward the perfect synergy between humans and machines in the underwater realm. The problem is, for robots exploring complex ocean environments

that they probably wouldn’t have imagined 15 years ago. Experts are predicting that there will be more than 24 billion IoT devices installed and $6 trillion invested in IoT solutions by 2020. At this rate of growth, the IoT ecosystem extends beyond consumer electronics to other industries like healthcare, logistics, agriculture and oil and gas, to name a few. For most of these applications, especially those located in remote areas, the IoT has only been made possible through satellite-based communication. For example, companies such as Harris CapRock* work with their customers to
