On Friday 14th, 2018 Jacob and Colin visited IBM Research to speak with Industry Advisor and Project Mentor Dr. Tom Zimmerman. During the visit, Dr. Zimmerman entrusted the team a prototype microscope for data collection as well as materials to build a microscope of our own capable of running on the ROV.

On behalf of the Underwater ROV 3.0 team, we would like to thank Dr. Zimmerman and his colleagues for taking the time to provide guidance during this project, their extensive knowledge will prove instrumental in the success of this year’s endeavors.
