Drones take to the waves: Saildrones are getting data where people can’t
arstechnica.com
They can monitor the Antarctic year round and sail straight into hurricanes.

Stole this from another sub (don’t know how to cross-post) but it’s an interesting application of sailing.

    So the robots get to sail the world while I’m stuck here on a zoom call? This is not the future we wanted.

    But more seriously, this seems like a really good application of autonomous systems.

    I’d like to do something like this with autonomous dynamic soaring aircraft if there’s a science need for that kind of flying.
