Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for a calibration target for ultrasonic removal of ectoparasites from fish. In some implementations, the calibration target includes a fish-shaped structure, sensors positioned at different locations of the fish-shaped structure, a processor that receives sensor values from the sensors, and a transmitter that outputs sensor data from the calibration target based on the sensor values.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for self-calibrating ultrasonic removal of sea lice. In some implementations, a method includes generating, by transducers distributed in a sea lice treatment station, a first set of ultrasonic signals, detecting a second set of ultrasonic signals in response to propagation of the first set of ultrasonic signals through water, determining propagation parameters of the sea lice treatment station based on the second set of ultrasonic signals that were detected, obtaining an image of a sea louse on a fish in the sea lice treatment station, determining, from the image, a location of the sea louse in the sea lice treatment station, and generating a third set of ultrasonic signals that focuses energy at the sea louse.

Abstract: Methods and systems, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for controlling a system for growing seaweed are described. Some implementations of a method include forming a substrate loop inoculated with seaweed spores; arranging the substrate loop about a pulley; submerging the substrate loop to grow the seaweed; determining, using a seaweed farm controller, that the seaweed has grown to a pre-determined size; and based on the determination that the seaweed has grown to a pre-determined size: providing instructions to the pulley to feed a section of the substrate loop to a harvesting unit; providing instructions to the harvesting unit to separate the seaweed attached to the section of the substrate loop; providing instructions to a cleaning unit to clean the section of the substrate loop that is freed from seaweed; and providing instructions to a seeding unit to inoculate the cleaned section of substrate loop with seaweed spores.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media that implement an autonomous modular breakwater system. An example system includes a plurality of autonomous submersible structures, each configured to mechanically link to any other of the plurality of autonomous submersible structures to form a breakwater. The system includes a controller configured to perform operations including: determining a location for construction of a breakwater; determining an initial location of each of the plurality of autonomous submersible structures; selecting, based at least in part on the initial location of each of the plurality of autonomous submersible structures, a subset of the plurality of autonomous submersible structures for constructing the breakwater; and transmitting, to each of the selected autonomous submersible structures, instructions to transit from the respective initial location to the location for construction of the breakwater and to mechanically couple to at least one other autonomous submersible structure to form the breakwater.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for obtaining initial parameters for ultrasonic transducers around a calibration target. The calibration target can include a fish-shaped structure, sensors placed at different locations of the fish-shaped structure, a processor that receives sensor values from the sensors, and a transmitter that outputs sensor data from the calibration target based on the sensor values. The calibration target can be fixed at a particular position relative to the ultrasonic transducers by a filament coupled to both the calibration target and a support structure. Sensor data can be obtained from the calibration target at the particular position relative to the ultrasonic transducers, and relative locations of the sensors can be determined. Parameters for the ultrasonic transducers around the calibration target can be adjusted based on the sensor data and the respective locations of the sensors.

Abstract: A system for servicing watercraft includes one or more waterborne platforms. Each waterborne platform includes an electric power supply, a driving system for moving the waterborne platform in a body of water, a watercraft interfacing system configured to at least supply electric power to an electrically-powered watercraft, and a control interface configured to exchange data with a controller. The controller is configured to: receive input data, determine respective destination locations for the waterborne platforms to supply electric power to the electrically-powered watercraft, and send control data that includes data indicating the destination locations to the waterborne platforms.
