CBC Newfoundland reported on the launch Wednesday of an autonomous sailboat in St. John’s. The boat is a project by UBC engineering students who are part of a robotics team aiming to send their self-driving boat all the way to Ireland.
“We’ve spend the last few months just testing and fixing a few bugs that have come up,” said team member Youssef Basha. “We’ve had a pretty smooth month so far, so we are very excited. Everything is looking good right now.”
The Sailbot team also spoke to CBC Radio’s Early Edition (at 59:30 mark).
