Yakking About Jetyaks

June 29, 2017

WHOI scientist Peter Traykovski (left) shows WHOI Trustees and Corporation members his Jetyak, an autonomous surface vehicle that he uses to explore and map coastal topography. Traykovski has been adapting consumer-available robotics to study the changing shoreline of Cape Cod. Using a combination of innovative vehicles, he has been able to respond quickly to requests for coastline surveys, particularly in the aftermath of storms. Traykovski will talk about his work at the next Afternoon of Science for WHOI Associates. (Photo by Tom Kleindinst, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
