The underwater world is a big place and sometimes it is more fun or efficient to bring friends. Allec can work together with other Allecs to solve missions. Say you want to quickly find places with wrecks or every fish you can possibly spot. Simply put several Allecs …
So you are technically inclined and want to know how to really control Allec? The AI programming language is the answer. For those with programming experience a very breif description is that the AI programming language is much inspired by common C, with some robot relavant functions added. …
A requirement for a robot sailing on his own is to be able to spot objects in his way and react on them. In a earlier post we talked about Allec’s computer vision. It allows Allec to not just detect objects, but also understand what kind of object he …
A brilliant feature of Allec is his Discovery chart. It’s a graphical overview of what Allec experienced during his trip under water and will display the route sailed and the objects Allec recognized during the dive on an area map. If you bring Allec along on your underwater diving …
