Cooperation in the operation of the internet in the region is to be strengthened and...

90 metre ship Zhu Hai Yun: Launch of an autonomous robot carrier in China

As an autonomous platform with a large number of unmanned sensor carriers, the ship is intended to create a 3D image of a 100-kilometre disc of the sea surface, 4 kilometres upwards and...
