==Presentation week 2==<br />
===Q&A from students===<br />
'''Q: Why are there no automated seaweed farms yet?'''<br />
<br />
A: It's being researched and worked on right now, but we want to make larger farms<br />
<br />
'''Q: Will seaweed do well at that scale?'''<br />
<br />
A: Yes; the ocean will supply enough nutrients so there is no need to do this manually and artificially.<br />
<br />
'''Q: How will you grow seaweed in 'dead zones'? Will the seaweed survive big storms?'''<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
'''Q: How does seaweed grow in 'dead zones' if no plants can survive?'''<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
===Feedback from teachers===<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
(we showed our farm setup)<br />
<br />
Take a look at underwater robots, like repair robots.<br />
<br />
(we showed maritime robotics slide)<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==Presentation week 3==<br />
'''Feedback'''<br />
*Does Hasp mean anything?<br />
*Research the seaweed type we will farm. What is it stiffness. Can we do fielwork to research seaweed in its natural habitat?<br />
*Consider the influence of streams.<br />
*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.<br />
*Our milestones are big. What is the feasibility? (worries about communicatoin and detection of plant)<br />
*How do we contribute to the state of the art?<br />
*We need a clear planning!<br />
*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.<br />
<br />
==Feedback week 4==<br />
*Can a bicycle chain survive in salt water?<br />
*What is the cutting force?<br />
*Make a nice video and demo in swimming pool.<br />
*Wouldn't it cheaper in developing countries<br />
*How does the seaweed body survive without leaves?<br />
<br />

Vragen/opmerkingen besproken met Nephtaly Aniceta (5 mei)<br />
<br />
Robot ontwerp van Stijn ziet er goed uit. Een paar opmerkingen:<br />
* Onderste deel aan een touw laten zakken is niet optimaal, het onderste deel kan zakken. Een oplossing waar we aan zitten te denken is een uitschuifbare arm van PVC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KK_ebAdOiRw<br />
* Dit principe kunnen we ook gebruiken voor de grijparm van de onderste module<br />
<br />
Vragen:<br />
* Zijn er onderdelen die we van het robotics team (TU/e) kunnen lenen/gebruiken?<br />
* Is er een locatie op de TU/e waar we aan onze robot kunnen werken en deze kunnen opslaan, zodat we deze niet steeds mee naar huis hoeven te nemen?<br />
<br />
* Mogelijke [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:126433 Servoclaw]? [[User:S133140|S133140]]<br />
<br />
==Stijn's talk==<br />
Is de Nema 17 sterk genoeg?<br />
max torque is 4800g/cm dat is ongeveer zelfde als 47N/cm.<br />
De drag froce, als de robot 10cm/sec beweegt, is 15N (F=(rho)*v^2*A*C_d, C_d is drag coefficient =1.05 voor aan kubus)<br />
dus met een straal van het tandwiel van max 3 cm is de motor sterk genoeg om de drag force (dit is nog niet inclusief de wrijving tussen te wielen en de ketting enzo.) op te heffen. Maar de ketting kan niet zo strak staan dat die niet buigt als de robot eraan hangt, dus de robot zal ook soms naar boven moeten bewegen en dan gaat die wel heel sloom met deze motor.<br />
Ik weet niet hoe veel de torque verandert als de stroomsterkte toeneemt, maar dit zou een oplossing kunnen zijn.<br />

**Minutes:<br />
***Rope design for lowering the robot may have negative consequences on the stability. PVC Tubes will be used instead [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KK_ebAdOiRw Inspired by]<br />
***Worm reduction gear for hosit -> idlemovement needs 0 energy<br />
***[https://seaperch.byu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/UUR-ROV.png]<br />
***Welding the axis of the (fietskettingtandwielen) gear. For strenght<br />
***PVC design for lowered part -> easy to handle, not a lot of water resistance -> cheap, light<br />
***bicyle chain, gear and driving gear must be for the same type of chain.<br />

==Presentation week 2==<br />
===Q&A from students===<br />
'''Q: Why are there no automated seaweed farms yet?'''<br />
<br />
A: It's being researched and worked on right now, but we want to make larger farms<br />
<br />
'''Q: Will seaweed do well at that scale?'''<br />
<br />
A: Yes; the ocean will supply enough nutrients so there is no need to do this manually and artificially.<br />
<br />
'''Q: How will you grow seaweed in 'dead zones'? Will the seaweed survive big storms?'''<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
'''Q: How does seaweed grow in 'dead zones' if no plants can survive?'''<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
===Feedback from teachers===<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
(we showed our farm setup)<br />
<br />
Take a look at underwater robots, like repair robots.<br />
<br />
(we showed maritime robotics slide)<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==Presentation week 3==<br />
'''Feedback'''<br />
*Does Hasp mean anything?<br />
*Research the seaweed type we will farm. What is it stiffness. Can we do fielwork to research seaweed in its natural habitat?<br />
*Consider the influence of streams.<br />
*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.<br />
*Our milestones are big. What is the feasibility? (worries about communicatoin and detection of plant)<br />
*How do we contribute to the state of the art?<br />
*We need a clear planning!<br />
*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.<br />

==Jochems' talk==<br />
[[File:Guide-arms.png|thumb|Sketch guide arms]]<br />
Vragen/opmerkingen besproken met Nephtaly Aniceta (5 mei)<br />
<br />
Robot ontwerp van Stijn ziet er goed uit. Een paar opmerkingen:<br />
* Onderste deel aan een touw laten zakken is niet optimaal, het onderste deel kan zakken. Een oplossing waar we aan zitten te denken is een uitschuifbare arm van PVC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KK_ebAdOiRw<br />
* Dit principe kunnen we ook gebruiken voor de grijparm van de onderste module<br />
<br />
Vragen:<br />
* Zijn er onderdelen die we van het robotics team (TU/e) kunnen lenen/gebruiken?<br />
* Is er een locatie op de TU/e waar we aan onze robot kunnen werken en deze kunnen opslaan, zodat we deze niet steeds mee naar huis hoeven te nemen?<br />

===Q&A from students===<br />
'''Q: Why are there no automated seaweed farms yet?'''<br />
<br />
A: It's being researched and worked on right now, but we want to make larger farms<br />
<br />
'''Q: Will seaweed do well at that scale?'''<br />
<br />
A: Yes; the ocean will supply enough nutrients so there is no need to do this manually and artificially.<br />
<br />
'''Q: How will you grow seaweed in 'dead zones'? Will the seaweed survive big storms?'''<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
'''Q: How does seaweed grow in 'dead zones' if no plants can survive?'''<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
===Feedback from teachers===<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
(we showed our farm setup)<br />
<br />
Take a look at underwater robots, like repair robots.<br />
<br />
(we showed maritime robotics slide)<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==Presentation week 3==<br />
'''Feedback'''<br />
*Does Hasp mean anything?<br />
*Research the seaweed type we will farm. What is it stiffness. Can we do fielwork to research seaweed in its natural habitat?<br />
*Consider the influence of streams.<br />
*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.<br />
*Our milestones are big. What is the feasibility? (worries about communicatoin and detection of plant)<br />
*How do we contribute to the state of the art?<br />
*We need a clear planning!<br />
*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.<br />

<div>__FORCETOC__<br />
=Seaweed farming=<br />
<br />
Seaweed has been farmed by humans for hundreds of years in Asia and on the west-coast of America. It's being sold more and more on the Western market these days and the demand for seaweed is increasing. More and more fishermen are converting to seaweed farms.<br />
<br />
This can have troubling consequences. Seaweed, when farmed intensively, can reduce the water quality of coastal areas. Dense farming areas and seaweed monoculture increase the risk of diseases spreading. This is why we want to move the seaweed farms away from coastal areas, to the oceans. Here the seaweed can grow with much less negative effects on the environment and production of seaweed and the seaweed can make use of natural resources otherwise left unused in the ocean.<br />
<br />
However, these ocean farms are not very easy to maintain by humans, because the farms can be far away from the land. That is why we want to research and develop a prototype robot that can maintain such a seaweed farm on the ocean, requiring very little human attention. We will need to research existing literature, positive and negative effects of such a farm and develop a prototype robot with limited functionality to demonstrate our project at the end of the quartile.<br />

<br />
== Preliminary brainstorm ==<br />
===Benefits===<br />
* Enhances natural water ecosystem<br />
**Various types combats a monoculture<br />
*Cheaper and sustainable food supply<br />
**For livestock (veevoer)<br />
***Decreases the need for deforestation <br />
**For humans<br />
*Descreases the magnitude of waves<br />
*Reduces the CO2/ increases the O2 in the water<br />
*Zee is better than in a basin<br />
**Natural nutrition supply<br />
<br />
Creating an automated robotic seaweed farm would make seaweed farming cheaper, bigger and safer, which would magnify the following benefits of seaweed farming: <br />
<br />
-Farming in the seas is a sustainable alternative to farming on land. It does not require cultivation of the area, fertilizing with phosphorus or water. <br />
<br />
-Seaweed can be used as livestock feed, which offers an alternative to the soy-based livestock feed. Soy farming is currently the main cause of deforestation and damages the climate. Seaweed based livestock feed would be a sustainable alternative to that.<br />
<br />
-Seaweed can be consumed by humans. With the growing world population, seaweed can become an important factor in feeding the planet and preventing famines.<br />
<br />
-Seaweed farms that are located nearby the shore break waves and thus increase the safety of the people living at the coasts.<br />
<br />
There are currently several "Aquatic dead zones", there is no life to be found in these areas. No plants, plankton or fish. When a seaweed farm is introduced to such an area, it will have a positive impact on the ecosystem. The plants will generate oxygen and attrackt plankton, the plankton will attrackt fish.<br />
Image: Aquatic dead zones [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c7/Aquatic_Dead_Zones.jpg]<br />
<br />
The seaweed farm would be collecting data about its surroundings, this data could be used to monitor pollution and the effects of climate change on the oceans. All this data could be used to protect the seas.<br />
<br />
===Proposals===<br />
*Floating robot<br />
**Solar panel<br />
**Lowering (anker-style) cutter<br />
**Hard to position,<br />
***Drifts<br />
***“Dijnst[dutch]”<br />
*Rover robot<br />
**Stable polypoid (crab-style)<br />
**Hard to cut above his head<br />
*Swimming robot<br />
**May become struck between the weed<br />
**Perfect mobility and can cut everywhere<br />
Combination of multiple robot’s for every seafruit a suitable robot.<br />
<br />
== Mariculture ==<br />
<br />
<i>In this section cover what mariculture is and various aspects of mariculture.</i><br />
<br />
[[File:greenwave.jpg|thumb|Representation of a sea farm]]<br />
<br />
=== Environmental effects ===<br />
<br />
There are several positive and negative aspects regarding seaweed farms. These can be classified in two categories:<br />
<br />
* Physical effects: effects on water movement, physical structure of terrestrial and aquatic habitats and aesthetic impacts, etc.<br />
* Ecological effects: water quality, primary and secondary productivity and native fisheries, etc.<br />
<br />
These effects tend to be more extreme when farming is more intensive.<br />
<br />
* '''Positive aspects of seaweed farms:'''<br />
** Income, employment and foreign exchange (import/export).<br />
** Pond-farms can make use of otherwise unfertile and underutilised land.<br />
** Large-scale farms influence coastal water movement, causing enhanced sedimentation and better protection of the coastal areas from erosion.<br />
** Introduction of seaweed culture rafts, ropes, anchors, etc. can increase the surface area of substrate, which may enhance production of other marine organisms in a similar way to what artificial reefs have been shown to do.<br />
** Seaweed culture mostly relies on a natural nutrient supply.<br />
** Seaweed farms offer shelter for other animals, increasing the biodiversity.<br />
** The area below seaweed farms can be used for invertebrate farming such as sea cucumbers.<br />
** Seaweed farms may be placed further offshore to better utilize offshore resources.<br />
<br />
* '''Negative aspects of seaweed farms:'''<br />
** Conflicts with other users of the coastal zone.<br />
** Concerns over potential environmental impacts.<br />
** Large surface area required for viable seaweed culture.<br />
** Site preparation may involve removal of native animals, plants and destroying the natural environment (e.g. removing rocks) which may damage the local ecosystem.<br />
** Routine management can result in damage through trampling and accidental damage of the local ecosystem.<br />
** Physical shading of an area can occur. The effects of this have not been well-studied.<br />
** Due to the large surface area required, the visual impact can be a strong argument against seaweed farms, especially in coastal areas.<br />
** Intensive farming may require additional fertilization. This has yet unknown effects on the local ecological system.<br />
** Large farms and intensive farming may cause deceases to spread more rapidly, causing production loss and other negative effects for the ecology.<br />
** Intensive farming may reduce the nutrient levels of coastal waters, making it harder for other organisms to survive.<br />
<br />
These effects should be considered when deploying seaweed farms to ensure sustainable aquaculture development.<br />
<br />
== Maritime robotics ==<br />
=== Types of maritime robots ===<br />
*The Sensor Buoy: floats at one spot on the surface. Mainly used for acquiring data.<br />
*The Traveler: like the sensor buoy but moves using solar energy and wave energy(enhances wave movement to accelerate) <br />
*Underwater Airplanes: like an airplane but with tiny wings, uses propellor. Can be tricky because it can not stop and it is unsure what lies ahead.<br />
*Diving Box: often equipped with lots of sensors. Can move in any direction and float in midwater. However, it is very energy inefficient and can only be used for a short moemnt unless you attach a thether.<br />
*Wild cards: weird, specialized and animal like robots.<br />
<br />
=== Specifications ===<br />
<br />
'''Buoyancy:'''<br />
<br />
Mass of water - mass of robot =<br />
*+ Robot will return to the surface.<br />
*0 Gravity free floating :D<br />
*- Make sure the robot can drop some weight or it will never return.<br />
<br />
'''Pressure:'''<br />
<br />
Increases 1 bar every 10 meters. Is important to consider in the design of the farm, up to what depth can it function?<br />
<br />
'''Communication & orientation:'''<br />
<br />
Above water: iridium SBD <br />
<br />
'''Under water:'''<br />
<br />
No wireless communication possible and lasers are very unreliable. <br />
So... we must use accoustic waves. It is the best thing we have but still not ideal because the speed of sound in water is slow. It is never really clear what is ahead, expecially when the robot is far away.<br />
<br />
=== Practical tips ===<br />
It's not all that difficult and expensive! Make sure that you can retrieve your robot when it breaks. Keep it small. A lot can already be achieved with just a water proof container with a battery, a phone and some tampons to soak up leaked water. Drinking bottles can be used as as pressure proof containers in shallow waters. Syringes can be usedfor building engines to change the weight of the verhicle and regulate the buoyancy. Sonars are very expensive but "fishfinders" are a good alternative.<br />
<br />
=== Responsibility ===<br />
The laws of the sea are rather unclear, but here are some general rules:<br />
*Dont go to nature protected areas.<br />
*Beware of materials that can be harmful (also think about paint for example)<br />
*Dont switch a robot between enviroments. It gives certain species a chance to invade an ecosystem whch can be harmful.<br />
*Be aware that salt water is conductive. Especially when touching your circuits!<br />

The USE aspects:<br />
The first users of the farming-robots are the farm-owners. They would not have employees anymore, but they would have robots. The farm-owners would use the robots to set and harvest the seaweed. The secondary users are the store-owners who sell the seaweed. The production costs are lower for product that are made with autonomic robots, so the store-owners can make more profit. Also the food industry is a secondary user which use the seaweed to make other food. The third users are the people who would eat the seaweed.<br />
Seaweed farming has several advantages for the society, but compared to normal food industry it has not the main disadvantages of (land) agriculture. The advantages of mari-culture compared to normal agriculture are: there is enough space for a sea-farm. Deforestation to make more space is not necessary for mari-culture. Sea-farms do not cause soil salinity and sea-farms do not need a crop rotation or a yearly greenfield land because the ocean flow serves enough nutrition to farm continue. An advantage of sea-farming is that it will benefit the ocean’s biosphere. The areas where fish cannot live , the dead zones, will disappear. The robots could also check the state of the ocean.<br />
Enterprise: It becomes harder and harder to feed the growing population with only agriculture. A good solution for this is use the oceans for food production. Sea-farming is the future. Autonomic robots are also the future. A combination of these two aspect is interesting for companies. The production is relative cheap compared to agriculture. And because is the future there might be food shortage, so new ways of food production are necessary. And if the farms are located in international waters the farmers do not comply to a lot of rules, thus food production will be easier.<br />

=Seaweed farming=<br />
<br />
Seaweed has been farmed by humans for hundreds of years in Asia and on the west-coast of America. It's being sold more and more on the Western market these days and the demand for seaweed is increasing. More and more fishermen are converting to seaweed farms.<br />
<br />
This can have troubling consequences. Seaweed, when farmed intensively, can reduce the water quality of coastal areas. Dense farming areas and seaweed monoculture increase the risk of diseases spreading. This is why we want to move the seaweed farms away from coastal areas, to the oceans. Here the seaweed can grow with much less negative effects on the environment and production of seaweed and the seaweed can make use of natural resources otherwise left unused in the ocean.<br />
<br />
However, these ocean farms are not very easy to maintain by humans, because the farms can be far away from the land. That is why we want to research and develop a prototype robot that can maintain such a seaweed farm on the ocean, requiring very little human attention. We will need to research existing literature, positive and negative effects of such a farm and develop a prototype robot with limited functionality to demonstrate our project at the end of the quartile.<br />

===Benefits===<br />
* Enhances natural water ecosystem<br />
**Various types combats a monoculture<br />
*Cheaper and sustainable food supply<br />
**For livestock (veevoer)<br />

<br />
Creating an automated robotic seaweed farm would make seaweed farming cheaper, bigger and safer, which would magnify the following benefits of seaweed farming: <br />
<br />
-Farming in the seas is a sustainable alternative to farming on land. It does not require cultivation of the area, fertilizing with phosphorus or water. <br />
<br />
-Seaweed can be used as livestock feed, which offers an alternative to the soy-based livestock feed. Soy farming is currently the main cause of deforestation and damages the climate. Seaweed based livestock feed would be a sustainable alternative to that.<br />
<br />
-Seaweed can be consumed by humans. With the growing world population, seaweed can become an important factor in feeding the planet and preventing famines.<br />
<br />
-Seaweed farms that are located nearby the shore break waves and thus increase the safety of the people living at the coasts.<br />
<br />
There are currently several "Aquatic dead zones", there is no life to be found in these areas. No plants, plankton or fish. When a seaweed farm is introduced to such an area, it will have a positive impact on the ecosystem. The plants will generate oxygen and attrackt plankton, the plankton will attrackt fish.<br />
Image: Aquatic dead zones [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c7/Aquatic_Dead_Zones.jpg]<br />
<br />
The seaweed farm would be collecting data about its surroundings, this data could be used to monitor pollution and the effects of climate change on the oceans. All this data could be used to protect the seas.<br />

<br />
=== Environmental effects ===<br />
<br />
There are several positive and negative aspects regarding seaweed farms. These can be classified in two categories:<br />
<br />
* Physical effects: effects on water movement, physical structure of terrestrial and aquatic habitats and aesthetic impacts, etc.<br />
* Ecological effects: water quality, primary and secondary productivity and native fisheries, etc.<br />
<br />
These effects tend to be more extreme when farming is more intensive.<br />
<br />
* '''Positive aspects of seaweed farms:'''<br />
** Income, employment and foreign exchange (import/export).<br />
** Pond-farms can make use of otherwise unfertile and underutilised land.<br />
** Large-scale farms influence coastal water movement, causing enhanced sedimentation and better protection of the coastal areas from erosion.<br />
** Introduction of seaweed culture rafts, ropes, anchors, etc. can increase the surface area of substrate, which may enhance production of other marine organisms in a similar way to what artificial reefs have been shown to do.<br />
** Seaweed culture mostly relies on a natural nutrient supply.<br />
** Seaweed farms offer shelter for other animals, increasing the biodiversity.<br />
** The area below seaweed farms can be used for invertebrate farming such as sea cucumbers.<br />
** Seaweed farms may be placed further offshore to better utilize offshore resources.<br />
<br />
* '''Negative aspects of seaweed farms:'''<br />
** Conflicts with other users of the coastal zone.<br />
** Concerns over potential environmental impacts.<br />
** Large surface area required for viable seaweed culture.<br />
** Site preparation may involve removal of native animals, plants and destroying the natural environment (e.g. removing rocks) which may damage the local ecosystem.<br />
** Routine management can result in damage through trampling and accidental damage of the local ecosystem.<br />
** Physical shading of an area can occur. The effects of this have not been well-studied.<br />
** Due to the large surface area required, the visual impact can be a strong argument against seaweed farms, especially in coastal areas.<br />
** Intensive farming may require additional fertilization. This has yet unknown effects on the local ecological system.<br />
** Large farms and intensive farming may cause deceases to spread more rapidly, causing production loss and other negative effects for the ecology.<br />
** Intensive farming may reduce the nutrient levels of coastal waters, making it harder for other organisms to survive.<br />
<br />
These effects should be considered when deploying seaweed farms to ensure sustainable aquaculture development.<br />
<br />
== Maritime robotics ==<br />
=== Types of maritime robots ===<br />
*The Sensor Buoy: floats at one spot on the surface. Mainly used for acquiring data.<br />
*The Traveler: like the sensor buoy but moves using solar energy and wave energy(enhances wave movement to accelerate) <br />
*Underwater Airplanes: like an airplane but with tiny wings, uses propellor. Can be tricky because it can not stop and it is unsure what lies ahead.<br />
*Diving Box: often equipped with lots of sensors. Can move in any direction and float in midwater. However, it is very energy inefficient and can only be used for a short moemnt unless you attach a thether.<br />
*Wild cards: weird, specialized and animal like robots.<br />
<br />
=== Specifications ===<br />
<br />
'''Buoyancy:'''<br />
<br />
Mass of water - mass of robot =<br />
*+ Robot will return to the surface.<br />
*0 Gravity free floating :D<br />
*- Make sure the robot can drop some weight or it will never return.<br />
<br />
'''Pressure:'''<br />
<br />
Increases 1 bar every 10 meters. Is important to consider in the design of the farm, up to what depth can it function?<br />
<br />
'''Communication & orientation:'''<br />
<br />
Above water: iridium SBD <br />
<br />
'''Under water:'''<br />
<br />
No wireless communication possible and lasers are very unreliable. <br />
So... we must use accoustic waves. It is the best thing we have but still not ideal because the speed of sound in water is slow. It is never really clear what is ahead, expecially when the robot is far away.<br />
<br />
=== Practical tips ===<br />
It's not all that difficult and expensive! Make sure that you can retrieve your robot when it breaks. Keep it small. A lot can already be achieved with just a water proof container with a battery, a phone and some tampons to soak up leaked water. Drinking bottles can be used as as pressure proof containers in shallow waters. Syringes can be usedfor building engines to change the weight of the verhicle and regulate the buoyancy. Sonars are very expensive but "fishfinders" are a good alternative.<br />
<br />
=== Responsibility ===<br />
The laws of the sea are rather unclear, but here are some general rules:<br />
*Dont go to nature protected areas.<br />
*Beware of materials that can be harmful (also think about paint for example)<br />
*Dont switch a robot between enviroments. It gives certain species a chance to invade an ecosystem whch can be harmful.<br />
*Be aware that salt water is conductive. Especially when touching your circuits!<br />

The secondary users are the store-owners who sell the seaweed. The production costs are lower for product that are made with autonomic robots, so the store-owners can make more profit. Also the food industry is a secondary user which use the seaweed to make other food. The third users are the people who would eat the seaweed.<br />
Seaweed farming has several advantages for the society, but compared to normal food industry it has not the main disadvantages of (land) agriculture. The advantages of mari-culture compared to normal agriculture are: there is enough space for a sea-farm. Deforestation to make more space is not necessary for mari-culture. Sea-farms do not cause soil salinity and sea-farms do not need a crop rotation or a yearly greenfield land because the ocean flow serves enough nutrition to farm continue. An advantage of sea-farming is that it will benefit the ocean’s biosphere. The areas where fish cannot live , the dead zones, will disappear. The robots could also check the state of the ocean.<br />
Enterprise: It becomes harder and harder to feed the growing population with only agriculture. A good solution for this is use the oceans for food production. Sea-farming is the future. Autonomic robots are also the future. A combination of these two aspect is interesting for companies. The production is relative cheap compared to agriculture. And because is the future there might be food shortage, so new ways of food production are necessary. And if the farms are located in international waters the farmers do not comply to a lot of rules, thus food production will be easier.<br />

=Seaweed farming=<br />
<br />
Seaweed has been farmed for hundreds of years in Asia and on the west-coast of America. It's being sold more and more on the Western market, the demand for seaweed is increasing. More and more fishermen are converting to seaweed farms.<br />
<br />
This can have troubling consequences. Seaweed, when farmed intensively, can reduce the water quality of coastal areas. Dense farming areas and seaweed monoculture increase the risk of diseases spreading. This is why we want to move the seaweed farms away from coastal areas, to the oceans. Here the seaweed can grow with much less negative effects on the environment and production of seaweed and the seaweed can make use of natural resources otherwise left unused in the ocean.<br />
<br />
However, these ocean farms are not very easy to maintain by humans, because the farms can be far away from the land. That is why we want to research and develop a prototype robot that can maintain such a seaweed farm on the ocean, requiring very little human attention. We will need to research existing literature, positive and negative effects of such a farm and develop a prototype robot with limited functionality to demonstrate our project at the end of the quartile.<br />

===Benefits===<br />
* Enhances natural water ecosystem<br />
**Various types combats a monoculture<br />
*Cheaper and sustainable food supply<br />
**For livestock (veevoer)<br />
***Decreases the need for deforestation <br />

Creating an automated robotic seaweed farm would make seaweed farming cheaper, bigger and safer, which would magnify the following benefits of seaweed farming: <br />
<br />
-Farming in the seas is a sustainable alternative to farming on land. It does not require cultivation of the area, fertilizing with phosphorus or water. <br />
<br />
-Seaweed can be used as livestock feed, which offers an alternative to the soy-based livestock feed. Soy farming is currently the main cause of deforestation and damages the climate. Seaweed based livestock feed would be a sustainable alternative to that.<br />
<br />
-Seaweed can be consumed by humans. With the growing world population, seaweed can become an important factor in feeding the planet and preventing famines.<br />
<br />
-Seaweed farms that are located nearby the shore break waves and thus increase the safety of the people living at the coasts.<br />
<br />
There are currently several "Aquatic dead zones", there is no life to be found in these areas. No plants, plankton or fish. When a seaweed farm is introduced to such an area, it will have a positive impact on the ecosystem. The plants will generate oxygen and attrackt plankton, the plankton will attrackt fish.<br />
Image: Aquatic dead zones [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c7/Aquatic_Dead_Zones.jpg]<br />
<br />
The seaweed farm would be collecting data about its surroundings, this data could be used to monitor pollution and the effects of climate change on the oceans. All this data could be used to protect the seas.<br />

<br />
=== Environmental effects ===<br />
<br />
There are several positive and negative aspects regarding seaweed farms. These can be classified in two categories:<br />
<br />
* Physical effects: effects on water movement, physical structure of terrestrial and aquatic habitats and aesthetic impacts, etc.<br />
* Ecological effects: water quality, primary and secondary productivity and native fisheries, etc.<br />
<br />
These effects tend to be more extreme when farming is more intensive.<br />
<br />
* '''Positive aspects of seaweed farms:'''<br />
** Income, employment and foreign exchange (import/export).<br />
** Pond-farms can make use of otherwise unfertile and underutilised land.<br />
** Large-scale farms influence coastal water movement, causing enhanced sedimentation and better protection of the coastal areas from erosion.<br />
** Introduction of seaweed culture rafts, ropes, anchors, etc. can increase the surface area of substrate, which may enhance production of other marine organisms in a similar way to what artificial reefs have been shown to do.<br />
** Seaweed culture mostly relies on a natural nutrient supply.<br />
** Seaweed farms offer shelter for other animals, increasing the biodiversity.<br />
** The area below seaweed farms can be used for invertebrate farming such as sea cucumbers.<br />
** Seaweed farms may be placed further offshore to better utilize offshore resources.<br />
<br />
* '''Negative aspects of seaweed farms:'''<br />
** Conflicts with other users of the coastal zone.<br />
** Concerns over potential environmental impacts.<br />
** Large surface area required for viable seaweed culture.<br />
** Site preparation may involve removal of native animals, plants and destroying the natural environment (e.g. removing rocks) which may damage the local ecosystem.<br />
** Routine management can result in damage through trampling and accidental damage of the local ecosystem.<br />
** Physical shading of an area can occur. The effects of this have not been well-studied.<br />
** Due to the large surface area required, the visual impact can be a strong argument against seaweed farms, especially in coastal areas.<br />
** Intensive farming may require additional fertilization. This has yet unknown effects on the local ecological system.<br />
** Large farms and intensive farming may cause deceases to spread more rapidly, causing production loss and other negative effects for the ecology.<br />
** Intensive farming may reduce the nutrient levels of coastal waters, making it harder for other organisms to survive.<br />
<br />
These effects should be considered when deploying seaweed farms to ensure sustainable aquaculture development.<br />
<br />
== Maritime robotics ==<br />
=== Types of maritime robots ===<br />
*The Sensor Buoy: floats at one spot on the surface. Mainly used for acquiring data.<br />
*The Traveler: like the sensor buoy but moves using solar energy and wave energy(enhances wave movement to accelerate) <br />
*Underwater Airplanes: like an airplane but with tiny wings, uses propellor. Can be tricky because it can not stop and it is unsure what lies ahead.<br />
*Diving Box: often equipped with lots of sensors. Can move in any direction and float in midwater. However, it is very energy inefficient and can only be used for a short moemnt unless you attach a thether.<br />
*Wild cards: weird, specialized and animal like robots.<br />
<br />
=== Specifications ===<br />
<br />
'''Buoyancy:'''<br />
<br />
Mass of water - mass of robot =<br />
*+ Robot will return to the surface.<br />
*0 Gravity free floating :D<br />
*- Make sure the robot can drop some weight or it will never return.<br />
<br />
'''Pressure:'''<br />
<br />
Increases 1 bar every 10 meters. Is important to consider in the design of the farm, up to what depth can it function?<br />
<br />
'''Communication & orientation:'''<br />
<br />
Above water: iridium SBD <br />
<br />
'''Under water:'''<br />
<br />
No wireless communication possible and lasers are very unreliable. <br />
So... we must use accoustic waves. It is the best thing we have but still not ideal because the speed of sound in water is slow. It is never really clear what is ahead, expecially when the robot is far away.<br />
<br />
=== Practical tips ===<br />
It's not all that difficult and expensive! Make sure that you can retrieve your robot when it breaks. Keep it small. A lot can already be achieved with just a water proof container with a battery, a phone and some tampons to soak up leaked water. Drinking bottles can be used as as pressure proof containers in shallow waters. Syringes can be usedfor building engines to change the weight of the verhicle and regulate the buoyancy. Sonars are very expensive but "fishfinders" are a good alternative.<br />
<br />
=== Responsibility ===<br />
The laws of the sea are rather unclear, but here are some general rules:<br />
*Dont go to nature protected areas.<br />
*Beware of materials that can be harmful (also think about paint for example)<br />
*Dont switch a robot between enviroments. It gives certain species a chance to invade an ecosystem whch can be harmful.<br />
*Be aware that salt water is conductive. Especially when touching your circuits!<br />

Creating an automated robotic seaweed farm would make seaweed farming cheaper, bigger and safer, which would magnify the following benefits of seaweed farming: <br />
<br />
-Farming in the seas is a sustainable alternative to farming on land. It does not require cultivation of the area, fertilizing with phosphorus or water. <br />
<br />
-Seaweed can be used as livestock feed, which offers an alternative to the soy-based livestock feed. Soy farming is currently the main cause of deforestation and damages the climate. Seaweed based livestock feed would be a sustainable alternative to that.<br />
<br />
-Seaweed can be consumed by humans. With the growing world population, seaweed can become an important factor in feeding the planet and preventing famines.<br />
<br />
-Seaweed farms that are located nearby the shore break waves and thus increase the safety of the people living at the coasts.<br />
<br />
There are currently several "Aquatic dead zones", there is no life to be found in these areas. No plants, plankton or fish. When a seaweed farm is introduced to such an area, it will have a positive impact on the ecosystem. The plants will generate oxygen and attrackt plankton, the plankton will attrackt fish.<br />
Image: Aquatic dead zones [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c7/Aquatic_Dead_Zones.jpg]<br />
<br />
The seaweed farm would be collecting data about its surroundings, this data could be used to monitor pollution and the effects of climate change on the oceans. All this data could be used to protect the seas.<br />
