So this video was taken

Ovaj video je snimljen

at Aquarius undersea laboratory

u Aquarius podvodnom labaratoriju

four miles off the coast of Key Largo,

udaljenom oko 6 i pol kilometara od obale Key Larga,

about 60 feet below the surface.

¸oko 18 metara ispod površine mora.

NASA uses this extreme environment

NASA koristi ovo ekstremno kruženje

to train astronauts and aquanauts,

za obuku austronauta i akvanauta,

and last year, they invited us along for the ride.

a prošle godine su nas pozvali da idemo s njima.

All the footage was taken from our open ROV,

Fotografija je snimljena s našeg ROV-a,

which is a robot that we built in our garage.

robota kojeg smo izradili u našoj garaži.

So ROV stands for Remote Operated Vehicle,

ROV je skračenica od Daljinski Upravljano Vozilo,

which in our case means our little robot

što u našem slučaju znači da naš mali robot

sends live video

šalje video snimku

across that ultra-thin tether

preko ultra tankog kabla

back to the computer topside.

natrag do računala koji se nalazi iznad.

It's open source, meaning we publish

To je otvoren izvor, što znači da mi objavljujemo

and share all of our design files

i dijelimo sve naše datoteke dizajna

and all of our code online,

i sve kodove online,

allowing anyone to modify

dozvoljavajući svakome da prilagođava

or improve or change the design.

ili poboljšava ili mijenja dizajn.

It's built with mostly off-the-shelf parts

Sagrađen je uglavnom od komercijalno dostupnih dijelova

and costs about 1,000 times cheaper

i košta otprilike 1 000 puta manje

than the ROVs James Cameron used

od ROV-a koji je James Cameron koristio

to explore the Titanic.

za istraživanje Titanica.

So ROVs aren't new.

Znači ROV-ovi nisu nova pojava.

They've been around for decades.

Postoje već desetljećima.

Scientists use ROVs to explore the oceans.

Znanstvenici koriste ROV-ove za istraživanje oceana.

Oil and gas companies use them for exploration

Naftne i plinske tvrtke ih koriste za eksploataciju

and construction.

i konstrukciju.

What we've built isn't unique.

Ovo što smo mi napravili nije jedinstveno.

It's how we've built it that's really unique.

Način na koji smo ga napravili je jedinstven.

So I want to give you a quick story of how it got started.

Želim vam ispričati brzu priču kako je sve počelo.

So a few years ago, my friend Eric and I

Prije par godina moj prijatelj Eric i ja

decided we wanted to explore this underwater cave

smo odlučili da želimo istražiti podvodnu špilju

in the foothills of the Sierras.

u podnožju Sierra.

We had heard this story about lost gold

Čuli smo priču o izgubljenom zlatu

from a Gold Rush-era robbery, and we wanted to go up there.

iz vremena Gold Rush pljački, pa smo željeli tamo otići.

Unfortunately, we didn't have any money

Nažalost, uopće nismo imali novaca

and we didn't have any tools to do it.

ni alata za učiniti to.

So Eric had an initial design idea for a robot,

Eric je imao početnu dizajn ideju za robota

but we didn't have all the parts figured out,

ali nismo imali sve razrađeno,

so we did what anybody would do in our situation:

pa smo učinili ono što bi bilo tko napravio u našoj situaciji:

we asked the Internet for help.

pitali smo Internet za pomoć.

More specifically, we created this website,

Konkretnije, kreirali smo web stranicu,

openROV.com, and shared our intentions and our plans

openROV.com te podijelili našu namjeru i planove.

For the first few months, it was just Eric and I

Prvih par mjeseci smo se samo Eric i ja

talking back to each other on the forums,

dopisivali putem foruma,

but pretty soon, we started to get feedback

ali ubrzo smo počeli dobivati povratne informacije

from makers and hobbyists,

od tvoraca i hobista,

and then actually professional ocean engineers

a zatim i profesionalnih oceanskih inženjera

who had some suggestions for what we should do.

koji su imali sugestije što trebamo učiniti.

We kept working on it. We learned a lot.

Nastavili smo raditi na tome. Nučili smo mnogo.

We kept prototyping, and eventually,

Nastavili smo raditi na prototipu i konačno

we decided we wanted to go to the cave. We were ready.

odlučili da idemo u špilju. Bili smo spremni.

So about that time, our little expedition became quite a story,

Naša mala ekspredicija je tada već postala atraktivna priča,

and it got picked up in The New York Times.

pa je sve to završilo u The New York Timesu.

And we were pretty much just overwhelmed

Bili smo prilično zatrpani

with interest from people who wanted a kit

interesom ljudi koji su željeli gotov primjerak

that they could build this open ROV themselves.

da mogu napraviti svoje vlastite ROV-ove.

So we decided to put the project on Kickstarter,

Odlučili smo staviti projekt na Kickstarter,

and when we did,

i kad smo to učinili,

we raised our funding goal in about two hours,

u 2 sata smo prikupili novac koji nam je bio potreban,

and all of a sudden, had this money to make these kits.

i iznenada, imali smo novac da napravimo prve primjerke.

But then we had to learn how to make them.

No tada smo morali naučiti kako ih napraviti.

I mean, we had to learn small batch manufacturing.

Mislim, morali smo naučiti kako proizvoditi male serije.

So we quickly learned that our garage

Brzo smo shvatili da naša garaža

was not big enough to hold our growing operation.

nije dovoljno velika za našu operaciju.

But we were able to do it, we got all the kits made,

Ali uspjeli smo, napravili smo primjerke,

thanks a lot to TechShop, which was a big help to us,

zahvaljujući TechShopu, koji nam je bio od velike pomoći,

and we shipped these kits all over the world

i poslali smo te primjerke svuda po svijetu

just before Christmas of last year,

prije Božića prošle godine,

so it was just a few months ago.

dakle prije par mjeseci.

But we're already starting to get video

Već smo počeli dobivati nazad

and photos back from all over the world,

i fotografije iz cijeloga svijeta,

including this shot from under the ice in Antarctica.

uključujući i snimke ispod Antarktike.

We've also learned the penguins love robots.

Također smo naučili da pingvini vole robote.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

So we're still publishing all the designs online,

I dalje objavljujemo naše dizajne na Internetu,

encouraging anyone to build these themselves.

potičemo sve da naprave takve i sami.

That's the only way that we could have done this.

To je i jedini način na koji smo ovo mogli uspjeti.

By being open source, we've created

Time što smo otvoreni za vanjske izvore stvorili smo

this distributed R&D network,

mrežu distributera R&D,

and we're moving faster than any venture-backed counterpart.

i napredujemo brže od bilo koje kompanije koja ima potporu partnera.

But the actual robot is really only half the story.

Ali sami robot je samo pola priče.

The real potential, the long term potential,

Pravi potencijal, dugoročni potencijal,

is with this community of DIY ocean explorers

je u zajednicama "Uradi sam" oceanskih istraživača

that are forming all over the globe.

koje se formiraju po cijelome svijetu.

What can we discover

Što možemo okriti

when there's thousands of these devices

sa svim tim uređajima

roaming the seas?

koji lutaju morima?

So you're probably all wondering: the cave.

Svi se vjerojatno pitate: špilja.

Did you find the gold?

Jeste li našli zlato?

Well, we didn't find any gold,

Pa, nismo pronašli nikakvo zlato,

but we decided that what we found was much more valuable.

ali smo zaključili da je ono što smo otkrili vrijednije.

It was the glimpse into a potential future

To je tračak za potencijal budućnosti

for ocean exploration.

oceanskog istraživanja.

It's something that's not limited to the James Camerons of the world,

To nije ograničeno samo za Jamese Camorone u svijetu,

but something that we're all participating in.

nego nešto u čemu možemo svi sudjelovati.

It's an underwater world

To je podvodni svijet

we're all exploring together.

koji istražujemo zajedno.

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

(Applause)
