  • CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR AUTONOMOUS AQUACULTURE STRUCTURES
    Publication number: 20230329165
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media that implement an autonomous or semi-autonomous growth platform used to control live cargo exposures to environmental parameters by changing depth in an offshore environment. For example, the growth platform can be lowered at night so that farmed seaweed can perform luxury uptake of nutrients and raised during the daytime so that the farmed seaweed can capture sunlight.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 18, 2022
