Autonomous boats demonstrate a new kind of adaptable infrastructure

Roboats are fully electric autonomous boats developed by researchers at MIT and funded by the city of Amsterdam. They can be adapted to serve many different functions, including the transport of people, waste collection and even combined to form floating infrastructure like docks and bridges.

    Inventing a “solution”.. but there is no problem. It can be use for like Venice, but simple walking bridge is cheaper and easier to use and to maintain.

    cool but for Amsterdam you should be able to bring your bike too

    other use cases could be a pop-up coffeshop, pop-up Pub, pop-up food truck, or autonomous delivery

    that is cool, though i like the classic retro ways – we need to finally make a change with so much tech and barely even using it.

    Call upon the LORD JESUS today!!! ….there is no hope elsewhere. Today is the day of salvation. ONLY JESUS SAVES. 1Corinthians 15 1-4 is the gospel of salvation. Put your faith and trust in Him, NOT in man….satan is the god of this world for now….but….JESUS is coming. Make sure you know Him, and that He knows you!

    It must be much more expensive than building a bridge in the first place

      not really, if they get a lot of customers and hey create 20-30k/year then they can cut the production costs by a lot. Just like tesla

    Seems very promising for cities with canals. Much more challenging to engineer something like this for rivers with a current. Probably impossible to use these at all in large bodies of water that have waves and tides.

    this is so stupid,why not built a bridge or walk path,aah money to be given away.

    What a great idea ! Passengers and in the same time… Creating bridges… Crossing the Geneva lake in Europe (Léman lac) would be awesome as bridges or ferries for cars are forbidden…

    Great! Building the future with fully automated and expensive boats. For the present, maybe, just maybe, can the MIT engineer expend a bit more money in a better webcam?
