RE: Three things
I) Want to bring "EMILY" and his inventor Tony Mulligan (possibly) to JE's island "forum" because this lifesaving robot (see video etc.) is also equipped with a sidescan sonar system... so we could do underwater surveying/archeology around the island... tres cool.
Want to ask him about strategy re JE and his web presence
Want to enquire how "anonymous" (or not) his contribution to the Hourglass Initiative should be...
Here's info on Tony Mulligan.
See the video (CNN) and read the articles on the web links below. The sidescan sonar (the coolest part) isn't really mentioned... that comes from my discussions
with Tony.
Tony Mulligan ( Emily)
Lifeguard Robot
By Kayla Webley
Her nose isn't coated in bright white sunblock, but she might just save your life. EMILY, or the Emergency Integrated Lifesaving Lanyard, is a robotic buoy that can swim through riptides at a speed of up to 24 m.p.h. Her inventor, entrepreneur and engineer Tony Mulligan, says that makes her about 15 times as fast as human lifeguards. Powered with a tiny electric pump that shoots a forceful stream of water, the 4-ft.-longrobotic buoy has been tested at California's Zuma Beach. The device is operated by remote, but next year's model features sonar technology controlled with an iPhonc app that will allow EMILY to detect riptides and submerged objects.
