Our August First Friday takes the plunge into the marine robotics industry.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Ocean exploration has traditionally been dominated by surface ship technology. As a field-proven technology leader in autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), Hydroid’s REMUS line of vehicles are changing the game.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Hydroid AUVs can dive to depths of 6,000 meters, explore shallow waters and hover in hazardous areas where navigation is difficult. These vehicles reduce the high cost of ocean exploration and sampling, while increasing the availability of scientific marine data.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Hydroid AUVs have been involved with undersea mine countermeasures that have helped save lives by eliminating human divers from mine fields and have helped solve plane and ship disaster mysteries, including locating Air France Flight 447 wreckage and generating 3D mapping of the Titanic. Our vehicles offer scientists a new view on pressing global issues including climate change, the world’s declining fish population and environmental disasters.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Steve Brodet is an Applications Engineer with Hydroid, Inc. In this role, Steve works to develop and transition emerging payload and navigation technologies into the fleet of Hydroid’s REMUS Autonomous Underwater Vehicles. Prior to working with Hydroid, Steve was with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) office of Coast Survey where he tested and transitioned emerging technologies, including REMUS AUV’s, to NOAA’s Hydrographic Survey fleet.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Buffet breakfast begins at 7:30AM<br class="">Networking: 7:30-8:00AM<br class="">Announcements: 8:00-8:10AM<br class="">Featured program and Q&A: 8:10-9:00AM<br class="">Post-program networking: 9:00-9:30PM<br class=""><br class="">Members: $15<br class="">Guests: $20<br class=""><br class="">After July 31 and at the door: $25</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Register at <a href="https://www.cctechcouncil.org/event/hydroid-august-first-friday/" class="">https://www.cctechcouncil.org/event/hydroid-august-first-friday/</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The Cape Cod Technology Council, Inc.
