Using #AI, roboticists developed a way to virtually detect and discover submerged archaeological sites — like #shipwrecks by automating the search for such sites in multibeam sonar data collected by surface vessels. Learn more: oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/expedition/25a… #explore

At #roman2025 yesterday and presented my paper! dx.doi.org/10.7302/26058 We found an interesting preference pattern in human security agent interaction: people prefer humans when citizens initiate interactions, but prefer robots when security initiate them.
