Autonomous Boats Could Fix Our Crumbling Bridges

The video discusses the urgent need for bridge repairs and the challenges of current inspection methods. It introduces autonomous boats developed by Florida Atlantic University engineers, which can assist in bridge inspections by working alongside human inspectors. These boats use machine learning to navigate and inspect underwater structures, reducing the need for divers. The collaboration between humans and robots enhances efficiency and safety. The technology has potential applications beyond infrastructure, indicating a shift in how humans and machines will work together in the future.

How does behavioral learning enhance the capabilities of autonomous boats?

What implications does the use of autonomous technology have for the future of labor in bridge inspections?
