This article describes a multiyear survey of cobalt-rich manganese crust (Mn-crust) deposits using multiple underwater robots. Using two autonomous underwater vehicles and one remotely operated vehicle, mounted with camera systems, multibeam sonar, and subbottom sensors, large areas were surveyed by incorporating the advantages of each robot to create a comprehensive database … [Read more...] about Multirobot Multimodal Deep Sea Surveys: Use in Detailed Estimation of Manganese Crust Distribution

Proof of Work Is a Stigmergic Consensus Algorithm: Unlocking Its Potential
The proof-of-work (PoW) algorithm has been initially used in Bitcoin and is now one of the mainstream consensus algorithms to create immutable ledgers of transactions. However, it is still not very well understood, and as such, its entire strength remains undervalued. While some researchers classify it as a Nakamoto consensus algorithm, some other researchers do not even … [Read more...] about Proof of Work Is a Stigmergic Consensus Algorithm: Unlocking Its Potential
