Robot Ship Sails in Milwaukee

A new Autonomous Surface Vessel (ASV) was demonstrated for the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Governors and Premiers Leadersip Summit in Milwaukee, Wisconsin this weekend.  June 14-16th. These remotely controlled robotic ships  are seen as an important "Force multiplier" to assist conventional research vessels to cover more area in a shorter time.  Picture a mother duck and ducklings sailing in formation.
