The Year of CoCoRo Video #14/52: LilyCam in a Lake
The EU-funded Collective Cognitive Robotics (CoCoRo) project has built a swarm of 41 autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) that show collective cognition. Throughout 2015 – The Year of CoCoRo – we will be uploading a new weekly video detailing the latest stage in its development. In this video, the Lily robot takes us below a lake in Austria.
After our successful application of “Lily-Cam” in our small ponds, we went further. At several lovely places at Styria (Austria) we took a look below the water surface and encountered beautiful and pittoresque landscapes, fish and even diving ducks.
To learn more about the project, see this introductory post, or check out all the videos from the Year of CoCoRo on Robohub.
