  1. INPUT TO TU EINDHOVEN NEXT NATURE STUDENT PROJECT SPRING 2012 Etienne Gernez 20120202 – etienne@opensailing.net

  2. THE VISION: Properties and functions – with the example of Oil spill clean up (property 7)

  3. THE PRODUCTS: 1 meter long Remote Controlled Protei for Leisure applications

  4. THE PRODUCTS: 1 meter long Autonomous for Ocean Sensing and Cleaning as a Swarm

  5. THE VISION: Specific applications to Global needs – Research and Production sites

  6. CONTEXT: Scientific community working towards 1st Atlantic Crossing by an Autonomous Sailboat http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21028126.400-sailbots-head-for-the-high-seas.html

  7. THE FRAMEWORK FOR COLLABORATIVE DEVELOPMENT: Open Source Hardware

  8. COLLABORATIVE DEVELOPMENT: DIY Makers Community Documenting the design and construction Peer review and design forum

  9. Hands on assignment: Protei 1m RC • How to make a 1m model that: • is the cheapest to build (<100€ ) with a minimum of functionality (control of hull shape and sail steering) ? • has the lowest environmental impact from a total life cycle perspective (birth, life, death, after death): green/bio composites, recycling of sailing/windsurfing equipments… • can be assembled from a kit by anyone – like an IKEA furniture? • would allow for further upgrading: room for a camera, GPS, and other sensors • would combine these 4 objectives • Deliverables: build such a model, or several to interact together!

  10. Conceptual assignment: Protei 1m Autonomous • What are the necessary functions and components for different missions? • Plastic collection • Oil clean up • Radioactivity mapping • Protected Marine Area Monitoring • Oceanography data collection • Ocean exploration • How would different version interact with each other? “The Social life of Autonomous Sailing Boats” • How would a specific version interact with other objects designed for the same goal? • Ex: Protei for oil clean up within a total Oil spill contingency plan • Ex: launching and retrieving of a swarm of Proteis from a mothership • Deliverables: interactive maps, 3D animations, posters, simulations, AI algorithms

  11. PROTEI COMMUNITY AKA THE PROTEANS – A MULTINATIONAL COMPANY OF VOLUNTEERS https://sites.google.com/a/opensailing.net/protei/people

  12. Client expectations • Innovate & collaborate • High degree of independence • Always work within the Open Hardware framework: thorough documentation, sharing and crediting of Protei.org on any piece of intellectual or material property produced during the student project

  13. Communication with Client • Weekly Skype meeting with Academic coordinator Etienne Gernez, on fridays • >> please elect 1 or 2 contact persons from the student group to report on progress • Access to Protei community of developers (interaction designers, industrial designers, visual artists) for specific questions, depending on availability, routed by Academic coordinator • Physical meeting with a few Proteans at the middle and end of semester exhibitions in Eindhoven

  14. Student expectations ? • What would you like to learn during this project? • What would you like to do with this experience in the future?

  15. Steering Committee & Coaching • Sam Nemeth • Emilia Barakova • Koert van Mesvoort • Missing: Naval architecture advisor • >> TU Delft: for example Peter Naaijen • >> MARIN: for example ing. Rien de Meijr.d.meij@marin.nl • both have been in contact with Protei in the recent past – no formal agreement for close assistance discussed though • when TU Delft and Marin meet: http://www.marin.nl/web/News/News-items/Delft-University-of-Technology-designs-fastest-model-sailing-boat-at-MARIN.htm • >> organize a meeting with the TU Delft students who designed these amazing sailing boats?

  16. Resources • website: www.protei.org • Protei Handbook available online – with the making of Protei 1 to 6: https://sites.google.com/a/opensailing.net/protei/media • Recent documentation of Protei 7 and 8 - in live progress! • http://www.levinegabriella.com/2012/01/protei-itp-winter-show-and-build-it-yourself/ • https://sites.google.com/a/opensailing.net/protei/v/008
