So this video was taken
1
8811
1903
Ovaj video je snimljen
00:22
at Aquarius undersea laboratory
2
10714
2432
u Aquarius podvodnom labaratoriju
00:25
four miles off the coast of Key Largo,
3
13146
1853
udaljenom oko 6 i pol kilometara od obale Key Larga,
00:26
about 60 feet below the surface.
4
14999
2578
¸oko 18 metara ispod površine mora.
00:29
NASA uses this extreme environment
5
17577
1724
NASA koristi ovo ekstremno kruženje
00:31
to train astronauts and aquanauts,
6
19301
2424
za obuku austronauta i akvanauta,
00:33
and last year, they invited us along for the ride.
7
21725
3362
a prošle godine su nas pozvali da idemo s njima.
00:37
All the footage was taken from our open ROV,
8
25087
2884
Fotografija je snimljena s našeg ROV-a,
00:39
which is a robot that we built in our garage.
9
27971
4487
robota kojeg smo izradili u našoj garaži.
00:44
So ROV stands for Remote Operated Vehicle,
10
32458
3568
ROV je skračenica od Daljinski Upravljano Vozilo,
00:48
which in our case means our little robot
11
36026
1527
što u našem slučaju znači da naš mali robot
00:49
sends live video
12
37553
2264
šalje video snimku
00:51
across that ultra-thin tether
13
39817
1918
preko ultra tankog kabla
00:53
back to the computer topside.
14
41735
2428
natrag do računala koji se nalazi iznad.
00:56
It's open source, meaning we publish
15
44163
1978
To je otvoren izvor, što znači da mi objavljujemo
00:58
and share all of our design files
16
46141
2045
i dijelimo sve naše datoteke dizajna
01:00
and all of our code online,
17
48186
1508
i sve kodove online,
01:01
allowing anyone to modify
18
49694
2034
dozvoljavajući svakome da prilagođava
01:03
or improve or change the design.
19
51728
2349
ili poboljšava ili mijenja dizajn.
01:06
It's built with mostly off-the-shelf parts
20
54077
2303
Sagrađen je uglavnom od komercijalno dostupnih dijelova
01:08
and costs about 1,000 times cheaper
21
56380
1835
i košta otprilike 1 000 puta manje
01:10
than the ROVs James Cameron used
22
58215
1879
od ROV-a koji je James Cameron koristio
01:12
to explore the Titanic.
23
60094
3605
za istraživanje Titanica.
01:15
So ROVs aren't new.
24
63699
2210
Znači ROV-ovi nisu nova pojava.
01:17
They've been around for decades.
25
65909
1708
Postoje već desetljećima.
01:19
Scientists use ROVs to explore the oceans.
26
67617
3036
Znanstvenici koriste ROV-ove za istraživanje oceana.
01:22
Oil and gas companies use them for exploration
27
70653
2819
Naftne i plinske tvrtke ih koriste za eksploataciju
01:25
and construction.
28
73472
1547
i konstrukciju.
01:27
What we've built isn't unique.
29
75019
2762
Ovo što smo mi napravili nije jedinstveno.
01:29
It's how we've built it that's really unique.
30
77781
2874
Način na koji smo ga napravili je jedinstven.
01:32
So I want to give you a quick story
of how it got started.
of how it got started.
31
80655
2981
Želim vam ispričati brzu priču kako je sve počelo.
01:35
So a few years ago, my friend Eric and I
32
83636
2271
Prije par godina moj prijatelj Eric i ja
01:37
decided we wanted to explore this underwater cave
33
85907
2200
smo odlučili da želimo istražiti podvodnu špilju
01:40
in the foothills of the Sierras.
34
88107
1858
u podnožju Sierra.
01:41
We had heard this story about lost gold
35
89965
1903
Čuli smo priču o izgubljenom zlatu
01:43
from a Gold Rush-era robbery,
and we wanted to go up there.
and we wanted to go up there.
36
91868
2518
iz vremena Gold Rush pljački, pa smo željeli tamo otići.
01:46
Unfortunately, we didn't have any money
37
94386
1658
Nažalost, uopće nismo imali novaca
01:48
and we didn't have any tools to do it.
38
96044
1823
ni alata za učiniti to.
01:49
So Eric had an initial design idea for a robot,
39
97867
3200
Eric je imao početnu dizajn ideju za robota
01:53
but we didn't have all the parts figured out,
40
101067
2773
ali nismo imali sve razrađeno,
01:55
so we did what anybody would do in our situation:
41
103840
2212
pa smo učinili ono što bi bilo tko napravio u našoj situaciji:
01:58
we asked the Internet for help.
42
106052
2038
pitali smo Internet za pomoć.
02:00
More specifically, we created this website,
43
108090
2532
Konkretnije, kreirali smo web stranicu,
02:02
openROV.com, and shared
our intentions and our plans
our intentions and our plans
44
110622
2895
openROV.com te podijelili našu namjeru i planove.
02:05
For the first few months, it was just Eric and I
45
113517
2390
Prvih par mjeseci smo se samo Eric i ja
02:07
talking back to each other on the forums,
46
115907
2530
dopisivali putem foruma,
02:10
but pretty soon, we started to get feedback
47
118437
2088
ali ubrzo smo počeli dobivati povratne informacije
02:12
from makers and hobbyists,
48
120525
1843
od tvoraca i hobista,
02:14
and then actually professional ocean engineers
49
122368
1994
a zatim i profesionalnih oceanskih inženjera
02:16
who had some suggestions for what we should do.
50
124362
3532
koji su imali sugestije što trebamo učiniti.
02:19
We kept working on it. We learned a lot.
51
127894
1764
Nastavili smo raditi na tome. Nučili smo mnogo.
02:21
We kept prototyping, and eventually,
52
129658
2025
Nastavili smo raditi na prototipu i konačno
02:23
we decided we wanted to go
to the cave. We were ready.
to the cave. We were ready.
53
131683
2719
odlučili da idemo u špilju. Bili smo spremni.
02:26
So about that time, our little expedition
became quite a story,
became quite a story,
54
134402
3440
Naša mala ekspredicija je tada već postala atraktivna priča,
02:29
and it got picked up in The New York Times.
55
137842
2021
pa je sve to završilo u The New York Timesu.
02:31
And we were pretty much just overwhelmed
56
139863
1812
Bili smo prilično zatrpani
02:33
with interest from people who wanted a kit
57
141675
1783
interesom ljudi koji su željeli gotov primjerak
02:35
that they could build this open ROV themselves.
58
143458
2521
da mogu napraviti svoje vlastite ROV-ove.
02:37
So we decided to put the project on Kickstarter,
59
145979
3289
Odlučili smo staviti projekt na Kickstarter,
02:41
and when we did,
60
149268
1232
i kad smo to učinili,
02:42
we raised our funding goal in about two hours,
61
150500
2075
u 2 sata smo prikupili novac koji nam je bio potreban,
02:44
and all of a sudden,
had this money to make these kits.
had this money to make these kits.
62
152575
3205
i iznenada, imali smo novac da napravimo prve primjerke.
02:47
But then we had to learn how to make them.
63
155780
2195
No tada smo morali naučiti kako ih napraviti.
02:49
I mean, we had to learn small batch manufacturing.
64
157975
2165
Mislim, morali smo naučiti kako proizvoditi male serije.
02:52
So we quickly learned that our garage
65
160140
3260
Brzo smo shvatili da naša garaža
02:55
was not big enough to hold our growing operation.
66
163400
2679
nije dovoljno velika za našu operaciju.
02:58
But we were able to do it, we got all the kits made,
67
166079
2156
Ali uspjeli smo, napravili smo primjerke,
03:00
thanks a lot to TechShop,
which was a big help to us,
which was a big help to us,
68
168235
2707
zahvaljujući TechShopu, koji nam je bio od velike pomoći,
03:02
and we shipped these kits all over the world
69
170942
2985
i poslali smo te primjerke svuda po svijetu
03:05
just before Christmas of last year,
70
173927
1829
prije Božića prošle godine,
03:07
so it was just a few months ago.
71
175756
1782
dakle prije par mjeseci.
03:09
But we're already starting to get video
72
177538
1908
Već smo počeli dobivati nazad
03:11
and photos back from all over the world,
73
179446
1598
i fotografije iz cijeloga svijeta,
03:13
including this shot from under the ice in Antarctica.
74
181044
3030
uključujući i snimke ispod Antarktike.
03:16
We've also learned the penguins love robots.
75
184074
3400
Također smo naučili da pingvini vole robote.
03:19
(Laughter)
76
187474
2013
(Smijeh)
03:21
So we're still publishing all the designs online,
77
189487
3168
I dalje objavljujemo naše dizajne na Internetu,
03:24
encouraging anyone to build these themselves.
78
192655
2118
potičemo sve da naprave takve i sami.
03:26
That's the only way that we could have done this.
79
194773
2403
To je i jedini način na koji smo ovo mogli uspjeti.
03:29
By being open source, we've created
80
197176
1659
Time što smo otvoreni za vanjske izvore stvorili smo
03:30
this distributed R&D network,
81
198835
2264
mrežu distributera R&D,
03:33
and we're moving faster than
any venture-backed counterpart.
any venture-backed counterpart.
82
201099
3796
i napredujemo brže od bilo koje kompanije koja ima potporu partnera.
03:36
But the actual robot is really only half the story.
83
204895
3205
Ali sami robot je samo pola priče.
03:40
The real potential, the long term potential,
84
208100
2496
Pravi potencijal, dugoročni potencijal,
03:42
is with this community of DIY ocean explorers
85
210596
2677
je u zajednicama "Uradi sam" oceanskih istraživača
03:45
that are forming all over the globe.
86
213273
2396
koje se formiraju po cijelome svijetu.
03:47
What can we discover
87
215669
1534
Što možemo okriti
03:49
when there's thousands of these devices
88
217203
1904
sa svim tim uređajima
03:51
roaming the seas?
89
219107
2046
koji lutaju morima?
03:53
So you're probably all wondering: the cave.
90
221153
2276
Svi se vjerojatno pitate: špilja.
03:55
Did you find the gold?
91
223429
1826
Jeste li našli zlato?
03:57
Well, we didn't find any gold,
92
225255
1552
Pa, nismo pronašli nikakvo zlato,
03:58
but we decided that what we found
was much more valuable.
was much more valuable.
93
226807
3229
ali smo zaključili da je ono što smo otkrili vrijednije.
04:02
It was the glimpse into a potential future
94
230036
2472
To je tračak za potencijal budućnosti
04:04
for ocean exploration.
95
232508
1675
oceanskog istraživanja.
04:06
It's something that's not limited to
the James Camerons of the world,
the James Camerons of the world,
96
234183
2910
To nije ograničeno samo za Jamese Camorone u svijetu,
04:09
but something that we're all participating in.
97
237093
2595
nego nešto u čemu možemo svi sudjelovati.
04:11
It's an underwater world
98
239688
1333
To je podvodni svijet
04:13
we're all exploring together.
99
241021

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
David Lang - MakerDavid Lang is a maker and the co-founder of OpenROV, a community of ocean lovers who build underwater robots.
Why you should listen
David Lang is a maker whose craving for adventure turned him into an amateur ocean explorer. A few years ago Lang and NASA engineer Eric Stackpole went looking for lost gold (literally) in an underwater cave in the foothills of the Sierra Navada. But they weren't quite sure how to go about it. Without much expertise (or money), the two put initial designs for an underwater robot explorer online. Soon OpenROV was born: a community of citizen ocean explorers who build and constantly improve upon these small remote operated underwater robots.
Lang is also the author of Zero to Maker and a 2013 TED Fellow. He lives on a sailboat in the San Francisco Bay.
