Fishing is both gigantic and unprofitable (roughly $44B/year in the hole with subsidies, as of 2014)[1]. Illegal fishing is also a gigantic problem. In fact, illegal fishing is the 3rd largest crime in dollars after smuggling weapons

You could also send a thin wire, then vaporize it to create the ion channel. =)

I believe the Microsoft Bot Framework will consume a standard FAQ and answer questions from it, but you'll have to confirm. I saw a demo doing just that last year, but I'm unsure how much extra work there was.

Another (mostly ex) Robotics guy here - I have a BSEE and a MSCS. If possible, I'd focus more on the coding side of your capabilities versus the mechanical side - there's just far more upside. People tend to pigeonhole MEs way m

It is there, but amongst the giant pile up of startups, it is hard to stand out. I would have paid more attention had I known it was of interest. :/ If you're at CES, it is in the bottom floor of the Sands just behind the Israel s

You don't have to feed the fish - you can also grow black soldier fly larvae and have them automatically feed the fish for you. https://www.theaquaponicsource.com/blog/black-soldier-fly-la...

The biggest reason to switch to robots in manufacturing is quality control, followed by retooling speed, followed (distantly) by line speed. If you have any humans in your process, you only go as fast as they can.

Interestingly, I find that it is difficult to escape the expectation of getting new things unless you're already wealthy. Poorer people can't afford a high quality new thing, so they buy a cheaper one to replace its utility. Howev

Ah, rough. Sorry man. =/ I'd recommend a smaller town - have you looked at Pittsburgh?

Amazon has built a theme park that looks like Seattle inside of Seattle. Microsoft brought gentrification, but Amazon is clearly driving a totally different level of separation.

Not trying to bend you away, but I'm frankly shocked by your position. Are you locked in Amazonville? Did you reach out to places like http://sodomakerspace.com to try and teach? There are also places to work that are all

Manufacturing costs are the most likely reason. Prismatic cells are much less costly to produce in a rectangular format vs. an L shape.

This is very true - of the top 10 largest wind turbine designs in production, only one is land based (due to segmented blades): http://www.windpowermonthly.com/10-biggest-turbines Note, the largest has blades of 80 meters,

They are referring to the Core above - $5000 to start, $1000 for each additional sensor.

Also, many tenured professors double dip into industry as well, leveraging their guaranteed position for minimized exposure if the startup goes poorly.

Primesense was the source of the structured light technology in the Kinect v1. They were purchased by Apple. They produced an ASIC that ran the structured light system, as well as a custom grating to produce a very specific light pattern.

Fixing the skeletonization would be a hard lift - it is implemented in a random decision forest that's been trained with 10k+ hours of data.

How's the skeletonization these days? Still using NiTE?

Kinectimals was actually well beyond the standard skeletonization system - I think they rewrote a chunk of the stack to allow for younger kids to use it and have it perform well.

We were very disappointed with the current generation of RealSense devices. The next generation ones look good though - more based on the Tyzx acquisition.

Cost/unit was an incredible driver of adoption though. What other depth sensor could you pick up at a local thrift store for $10?
