Dude, Where’s My Bot?
May 9th, 2004Robots.net, via Noah Shackman, notes that the Canadian Navy is looking for their Battlespace Preparation Autonomous (i.e., robotic) Underwater Vehicle:
The bright yellow BPAUV weighs 800 pounds, is 122 inches long, 21 inches in diameter and was last seen off the coast of Norway where it was taking part in a military exercise.
Have you seen it?
If so, please return. Thanks!
Extra points go to coverage of the search that uses the phrase “little lost robot,” referencing a story in Asimov’s I, Robot.
