If you are into autonomous sailboats, robotics, rust, or combinations thereof, let me know :)

This sounds fun. Rust is amazing, and I've been playing with it on AVR chips lately. And I spent several summers sailing years ago. Email me if you'd like. Curious to know what you're working on.
Nice! Let me know about this project. I'm not a dev, just a sysadmin from old school always wanting to learn more stuff. I was teaching robotics for kids and teachers also.
Awesome! Are you doing anything that has loitering capabilities in an area? Something that's always bothered me is illegal fishing off the coasts of poor countries that can't afford to effectively monitor their own waters and I have been thinking about ways to tackle this (e.g. a system of buoys with sensor arrays that ping the coast guard/navy if they detect a ship without their AIS system on).
Have some experience with robotics and sailing but prefer python and ROS.

Is there anyway to follow progress of what your working on?

Not sailboats, but we are building a semi-typical Wall-E like turtlebot like robot based on lifelong reinforcement learning.

Hey I have experience with robotics (ROS1, trying to work on projects using ROS2 now) and autonomous vehicles (mainly Motion Planning & Control and decision making in uncertainties). What are you working on?
Experienced software engineer here, but no experience with robotics. Interested to learn and work on projects, specifically related to water vehicles.
What's the best way to contact you? It's been ~2 years since my last robotics project, but interested to learn more.
Interested in learning more! Particular autonomous drones and robotics on this side.
UBC sailbot?
