About This workshop
This intensive one-day workshop offers participants a unique opportunity to design and build a functional prototype of an autonomous underwater drone equipped with AI vision capabilities. You will gain practical experience in integrating miniature cameras, programming object detection algorithms for identifying coral health indicators, and understanding basic subsea navigation principles. The hands-on sessions will cover micro-controller programming for drone movement, data logging for environmental analysis, and ethical considerations for marine robotics deployment. This event is perfect for tech enthusiasts, environmental scientists, and hobbyists eager to apply AI to critical conservation efforts in Florida's vital marine ecosystems.
