Tasks

Personal Planning Preferences

• Arduin: mariculture, benefits of seaweed, maritime robotics (general, not applied to our farm), future farms, 'big data' of proposed design, USE: user, enterprise, branding and research grants
• Jochem: Business case(?), robot hardware/software eventueel een prototype website waarmee we de status van de robot kunnen bekijken, etc.
• Nephtaly: Design of the robot+station, part supply and programming
• Nina: finished design for the whole system, USE: society, enviromental factors, prototyping, solidworks
• Stijn: Mariculture, prototyping (voor de rest maakt het me niet echt uit)

Individual

• Chairman (Arduin)
  • Is the chairman at meeting and creates the agenda for the meetings (there are only plenary meetings, so they will not be chaired)
• Secretary (Jochem)
  • Is responsible for the minutes of the meetings
• Sourceman (Stijn)
  • Finds extra info or extra sources and supporting information for a statement
• Wiki&Drive maintenance (Nina & Nephtaly)
  • Will maintain the organisation and cleanness of the wiki(talk)page as well as the organisation in the drive

Weekly

  • Interview the chef about the possiblities of seaweed
  • TASTE IT!!!

Meeting/presentation notes

Presentation week 2

Q&A from students

Q: Why are there no automated seaweed farms yet?

A: It's being researched and worked on right now, but we want to make larger farms

Q: Will seaweed do well at that scale?

A: Yes; the ocean will supply enough nutrients so there is no need to do this manually and artificially.

Q: How will you grow seaweed in 'dead zones'? Will the seaweed survive big storms?

A: Seaweed grows on the water surface. We can use many types of seaweed. Please refer to the beautiful drawing on the blackboard. Seaweed can handle rough waves.

Q: How does seaweed grow in 'dead zones' if no plants can survive?

A: Seaweed can grow in these areas, but many plants and animals cannot. We may need to kickstart such areas, but the seaweed should be able to survive on it's own. We will need to research this more.

Feedback from teachers

Most original project of the ones presented today. You need to do a lot of work on the robots. We have to see how the robot will work in the demonstration.

(we showed our farm setup)

Take a look at underwater robots, like repair robots.

(we showed maritime robotics slide)

One remark: H2020 Proposals / Research calls (there may be a research call on this topic) We should look up roadmaps and think about where our project would fit in.

Please find something about the drawbacks, not just positive aspects. For example: lots of seaweed will limit the amount of light in the area below. Large scale <anything> will have an effect. Find out what the effect of large scale seaweed farming is.

Presentation week 3

Feedback

• Does Hasp mean anything?
• Research the seaweed type we will farm. What is it stiffness. Can we do fielwork to research seaweed in its natural habitat?
• Consider the influence of streams.
• Technicalities: How does the robot know where to cut? What is the error range? The robot could start at the top and then go down to be sure it is holding the seaweed.
• Our milestones are big. What is the feasibility? (worries about communicatoin and detection of plant)
• How do we contribute to the state of the art?
• We need a clear planning!
• It might be possible to arrange the pool for the end presentation and for the budget we have to come up with a good list of parts next week.
