Happy Thursday Tritons 🙌🏻 Meet Hannah, a member of Robosub's Design Team💻🎨She helped create the awesome graphic for this post, and you'll see more creative productions from her this year 😆 As a local from San Diego, Hannah enjoys cafe hopping, working out, and drawing! ☕️🖌🏋️‍♀️

Hi Tritons 👋 This is Uma, she's a part of Robosub's Design Team, and keeps our visual game strong 😎 She's currently in Sixth College as a second year, studying Cognitive Science. Uma enjoys reading, baking, and roller skating! 🥐🍪🛼

Meet Nha, a third-year studying Cognitive Science! 😆She's a part of Robosub's Design Team, and enjoys drawing or exploring new restaurants in her downtime 🧋🍴

Meet Eunice 👋 A member of Robosub's Design Team! When she's not busy studying or creating neat graphics for us, you'll probably find Eunice crafting, dancing, or reading! 💃📚

Welcome back to a new quarter Tritons! Hope you had an amazing break 😎

is off to a great start to the year! We had 2 successful events so far and more to come!

Are you interested in digital signal processing? NeuroTech in UCSD is excited to collaborate with Triton Robosub for an intuitive DSP workshop! From the introduction (digital filters, FIR, IIR, and audio processing) to technical application, this workshop is helpful for people with all levels. To make our workshop beneficial for you, we use an interactive learning tool, similar to the Jupyter notebook, to go into deeper concepts such as Linear systems, Convolution, and Discrete Fourier Transform. If you want to quickly advance your knowledge in digital processing, this is a good workshop for you!

Interested in learning about neural networks and machine learning? Come join our workshop where we will be covering both how neural networks fundamentally work as well as basic extensions of the concept such as differing loss functions, optimization techniques, and more modern uses of neural networks!

Progress Update: FishSense Handheld System

This week at Triton Robosub we are finalizing the mechanical and electrical designs of our FishSense Handheld System which allows divers to gather data on fish in real time. This is a precursor to our fish trap system that will use similar technology to monitor mangrove ecosystems in Jamaica.

The Intel RealSense D455 depth camera in the system automatically detects and captures depth images of fish that swim by. A custom magnetic switch will allow us to easily turn the system on and off without introducing extra leakage points, and a lanyard on the handle will firmly affix the system to the diver’s wrist.

We aim to reduce the cost of this system to under $2,000. The affordability of our designs is a crucial part of the system, but also places limitations on what kinds of design choices we can make. This cost cap makes for interesting discussion and creative thinking! The expected battery life of the system will be at least twelve hours and the system will be able to recharge once it is out of the water.

Our goal is to have a prototype working by mid-February so that it can be deployed in the real world! We will continue to design features that will be implemented on future iterations of this system. Stay tuned for more!
