So this video was taken

Ovaj video je snimljen

at Aquarius undersea laboratory

u podvodnoj laboratoriji Akvarijus

four miles off the coast of Key Largo,

6,5 kilometra od obale Ki Larga,

about 60 feet below the surface.

oko 18 metara ispod površine.

NASA uses this extreme environment

NASA koristi ovo ekstremno okruženje

to train astronauts and aquanauts,

kako bi obučavala astronaute i akvanaute

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

i prošle godine su i nas pozvali da se pridružimo.

All the footage was taken from our open ROV,

Svi snimci su nastali sa našeg otvorenog VDU-a,

which is a robot that we built in our garage.

robota kojeg smo stvorili u našoj garaži.

So ROV stands for Remote Operated Vehicle,

VDU je skraćenica za vozilo na daljinsko upravljanje,

which in our case means our little robot

što je u ovom slučaju naš maleni robot

sends live video

koji šalje video zapis uživo

across that ultra-thin tether

preko tog veoma tankog konopca

back to the computer topside.

do kompjutera na površini.

It's open source, meaning we publish

Radi se o principu otvorenog izvornog koda, što znači da objavljujemo

and share all of our design files

i delimo na internetu

and all of our code online,

sve podatke o dizajnu kao i sve kodove,

allowing anyone to modify

što dozvoljava svakom da menja

or improve or change the design.

ili poboljšava dizajn.

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

Napravljen je uglavnom od dostupnih delova

and costs about 1,000 times cheaper

i oko 1000 puta je jeftiniji

than the ROVs James Cameron used

od VDU-a koje je koristio Džejms Kameron

to explore the Titanic.

pri istraživanju Titanika.

So ROVs aren't new.

VDU nije nov koncept.

They've been around for decades.

Tu je već decenijama.

Scientists use ROVs to explore the oceans.

Naučnici koriste ova vozila da istraže okeane.

Oil and gas companies use them for exploration

Kompanije za naftu i gas koriste ih za istraživanje

and construction.

i izgradnju.

What we've built isn't unique.

Ovo što smo napravili nije jedinstveno.

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

Ali način na koji smo ga napravili jeste.

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

Brzo ću vam ispričati kako je sve počelo.

So a few years ago, my friend Eric and I

Pre nekoliko godina, moj prijatelj Erik i ja

decided we wanted to explore this underwater cave

smo odlučili da želimo da istražimo jednu podvodnu pećinu

in the foothills of the Sierras.

u podnožju Sijera Nevade.

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 pljačke iz vremena zlatne groznice i želeli smo da odemo tamo.

Unfortunately, we didn't have any money

Nažalost, nismo imali novca

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

kao ni alata da to uradimo.

So Eric had an initial design idea for a robot,

Erik je imao prvobitnu ideju za dizajn robota,

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

ali nismo shvatili koji su nam sve potrebni delovi

so we did what anybody would do in our situation:

tako da smo uradili ono što bi i svako drugi našoj situaciji:

we asked the Internet for help.

pitali smo za pomoć na internetu.

More specifically, we created this website,

Tačnije, stvorili smo sajt

openROV.com, and shared our intentions and our plans

openROV.com i podelili smo svoje namere i planove.

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

Prvih nekoliko meseci, tu smo bili samo Erik i ja

talking back to each other on the forums,

koji smo pričali na forumima

but pretty soon, we started to get feedback

ali smo uskoro počeli da dobijamo povratne informacije

from makers and hobbyists,

od proizvođača i hobista

and then actually professional ocean engineers

i onda od pravih profesionalnih okeanskih inženjera

who had some suggestions for what we should do.

koji su imali predloge za to šta bi trebalo da uradimo.

We kept working on it. We learned a lot.

Nastavili smo s radom. Dosta smo naučili.

We kept prototyping, and eventually,

Nastavili smo s prototipima dok najzad nismo

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

odlučili da želimo da odemo do pećine. Bili smo spremni.

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

Otprilike u to vreme, naša mala ekspedicija postala je prava priča

and it got picked up in The New York Times.

i zabeležio ju je Njujork Tajms.

And we were pretty much just overwhelmed

Bili smo jednostavno preplavljeni

with interest from people who wanted a kit

interesovanjem ljudi koji su želeli komplet

that they could build this open ROV themselves.

sa kojim bi sami mogli da naprave ovo otvoreno VDU.

So we decided to put the project on Kickstarter,

Odlučili smo da projekat postavimo na Kikstarter

and when we did,

i kada smo to uradili

we raised our funding goal in about two hours,

dostigli smo cilj za finansiranje za otprilike dva sata

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

i odjednom smo imali novac da pravimo ove komplete.

But then we had to learn how to make them.

Ali onda smo morali da naučimo kako da ih pravimo.

I mean, we had to learn small batch manufacturing.

Morali smo da naučimo proizvodnju na malo.

So we quickly learned that our garage

Ubrzo smo shvatili da naša garaža

was not big enough to hold our growing operation.

nije bila dovoljno velika za naš projekat u razvoju.

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

Ali uspeli smo to da uradimo, napravili smo sve komplete,

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

zahvaljujući uglavnom Tekšopu koji nam je puno pomogao

and we shipped these kits all over the world

i ove komplete smo razaslali svuda po svetu

just before Christmas of last year,

prošle godine pred sam Božić,

so it was just a few months ago.

tako da je to bilo tek pre nekoliko meseci.

But we're already starting to get video

Ali već počinju da nam šalju video snimke

and photos back from all over the world,

i slike iz celog sveta,

including this shot from under the ice in Antarctica.

uključujući i ovaj snimak ispod leda na Antarktiku.

We've also learned the penguins love robots.

Takođe smo saznali da pingvini obožavaju robote.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

So we're still publishing all the designs online,

Još uvek objavljujemo sve dizajne na internetu

encouraging anyone to build these themselves.

i ohrabrujemo svakoga da sam napravi ove robote.

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

To je jedini način na koji smo mogli ovo da uradimo.

By being open source, we've created

Kroz princip otvorenog izvornog koda stvorili smo

this distributed R&D network,

ovu distribuiranu mrežu istraživanja i razvoja

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

i napredujemo brže nego bilo koji sličan finansirani projekat.

But the actual robot is really only half the story.

Ali robot je zapravo samo pola priče.

The real potential, the long term potential,

Pravi, dugoročni potencijal

is with this community of DIY ocean explorers

nalazi se u ovoj zajednici "uradi sam" istraživača okeana

that are forming all over the globe.

koji nastaju širom planete.

What can we discover

Šta možemo otkriti

when there's thousands of these devices

kada postoji na hiljade ovih naprava

roaming the seas?

koje lutaju morima?

So you're probably all wondering: the cave.

Svi se verovatno pitate šta je bilo sa pećinom.

Did you find the gold?

Da li ste našli zlato?

Well, we didn't find any gold,

Pa, nismo našli zlato

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

ali smo odlučili da je ono što smo našli mnogo vrednije.

It was the glimpse into a potential future

To je obris potencijalne budućnosti

for ocean exploration.

istraživanja okeana.

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

To je nešto što nije rezervisano samo za Džejmse Kamerone ovog sveta,

but something that we're all participating in.

već nešto u čemu svi učestvujemo.

It's an underwater world

To je podvodni svet

we're all exploring together.

koji istražujemo zajedno.

Thank you.

Hvala vam.
