Internet degli abissi | Chiara Petrioli | TEDxFoggia


Good evening good evening to all I had one
dream that has come true and I would like to
sharing with you today is the dream
the internet of underwater things
of the internet the underwater since
the internet of the abyss is a challenge
technological that until a few years ago
he seemed worthy of a novel by
science fiction for the difficulties
intrinsic in developing technologies
reliable able to operate
effectively and reliably in one
natural domination so hostile and difficult
to reach for the man
yet discover via sensors and robots
submarines networked among them
wonders of this world is something of
intrinsically linked to our way of
be men
what distinguishes man from other species
living his natural curiosity from
when we are children
we have a natural curiosity in the
our desire to know how to overcome
the current barriers to knowledge
each
born a little explorer and in reality
in the last 25 years and the technologies
year allowed us to overcome many
of these barriers it seems almost that with
the internet of things, the technologies
satellite now nothing is more unknown
around us
well this is true but we forget it
which two thirds of our planet are covered
of water and this desire for discovery
finds its maximum expression in
these technologies I will talk about today
the internet on the water takes the world
marine is a world that always has
fascinated explorers writers
researchers in the last five centuries
if we think of Leonardo the scientist
of reference let’s say the idea
the same stereotype of the scientist
see the same as the scientist
five centuries ago Leonardo da Vinci in the
his atlantic code is the first
drawing of a machine capable of
bring a man under the surface of the
sea and of course could
to realize it was really an idea
science fiction in those days but a
century after some but succeeded
allowing man for the first time
to explore the depths of the thames
front in england in giorgio before and
since then a real e began
own race to discover the sea that
then he involved a lot of scientists
explorers writers who really are
our auction mentioned and which they gave
of truly remarkable contributions
to the collective imagination related to
this world so mysterious one
obviously and jules verne with his
20,000 its twenty thousand leagues under the
sea ​​you see here
a sentence that is very significant
because it reminds us of the role that this
environment the marine environment plays in
our life
let’s say the oceans seas lakes cover
over two thirds of our planet
play an essential role in
oxygen circulation and host the
most of living species on the
our planet known and a lot
we probably do not know why
in reality our senses do not reach the
beyond the boundary of the surface of the
sea
so it is simply a field that
we know very little for the truth
here you see our represented
planet of space which is better
evidence to realize that even though
we are used to the earth
most of our planet is
covered by itself that we know very well
less than distant planets like mars
in the last few years you know all there are
we are incredible discoveries
been able to send different landers
on mars here you see a collage of some
photos shoot these will make it sent
thousands of photos related to mars are
various samples were taken and as per
Mars also for other planets
Which
augurio venere la nasa has done various
missions that allowed to map
yet if we think of our planet of
those two thirds of the planet covered
of water we know only 5 per
one hundred
right now so what a
marine environment and the true frontier
of discovery and the true frontier
of the exploration that still remains to us
to be tackled because it is so important it is
important because this environment has
within itself the essential answers for
our future
if we think of the big issues that we
our children will have to face in the
coming decades such as food
for a humanity that continues to grow
such as how to deal with how
solve the problem of change
climate such as how to get
the natural resources that are needed for it
development of our wear and all
very large themes, many of them
questions require for their answer
an understanding a knowledge and
potentially exploitation
sustainable resources offered by
seas and oceans and then as you have
heard about it several times already
of the internet state of the internet of the
things around us for the idea is that
to extend monitoring capacity
of the internet of things too
to the marine environment because it’s one thing
so hard to achieve for in
we can not use any reality
of the technologies used for
the terrestrial environment
radio waves for example that there
allow all interconnect
devices around us in ours
smart cities can not be propagated
in the marine environment and then what
we must do we must use the
communication method used
selected from the million marine mammals
of years acoustic communications e
this brings many challenges that you see
illustrated in this video
in particular we need to
make special sensors capable
to operate in the deep sea of
measures the various parameters such as the
temperature the serenity the currents the
ph to understand acidification
oceans and submarine robots that
they can be easily deployed from
an inflatable boat like the one from which we go
with whom we go on vacation can
discover one another
create a communication network
exchange information wirelessly
real time to be able to act as one
team and together under control
of man performing complex tasks
that it would have been impossible to do
until now or that it would have been
extremely complex and expensive
dangerous for humans to carry out by opening
incredible possibilities for the
discovery of the seabed for the
discovery of this world by providing us with the
possibility of extending our senses
beyond what a physical boundary
beyond what is the border
of the marine surface that you see in
a real experimentation we have
done
fascinating because in reality it is
of the support to the archaeologists that in the
in an archaeological site submerged in
italy to marzamemi in sicily have
had the chance to use a
team of these submarine robots for
discover new finds in reality one
of the greatest satisfactions and status
just the fact that we succeeded
in a site that had been dug well
known we managed to find new ones
finds thanks to the possibility of
extend our senses to
possibility of rocco on the boy wizard
submarines to see what was there
beyond the bottom
if we go the next thanks to how
they know, for example, that there are not only i
you can see submarines represented here
now the submarine robots in the next one
slide and here you see a beautiful one
Roman column of fame that was part
of the site of marzamemi that
I mentioned before the essential aspect is the
fact that man is at the center
these technologies allow us to
overcome our physical boundaries but
we are the ones we must exploit
technologies like sensor robots
submarines for our phase of
discovery and then these technologies can
also be used to allow us
one to experiment in a richer way
our dimension within the
marine world so they can increase the
security of the SUVs providing information
in real time on the state we say of the
security of the sub or as in
this photo with the real photo can
allow the man to share
information on social media even while it’s on
doing a dive is also one
beautiful story I believe against the
stereotypes
first of all a history of research at
feminine because it is based on an idea
female
I am very proud to be a part of
this project 100 women against the
stereotyping that urges young people
women
to follow the passion of many women
engaged in science and technology is
also a history of young people
gifted with the talented energy they have
made this dream of them
this vision this enthusiasm and have
decided to dedicate their lives here to
realization of this challenge
technological
a story against stereotypes because
a story of brains returned and from
a story of brains like mine
guys guys in my group without the
which would not be but we would never have
achieved these goals that they had
had so many opportunities abroad to that
they chose instead to achieve
fully their aspirations of
career here in Italy is a story d
europe that for once really from the
value because it’s a story of one
research that has been financed in the
years thanks to the victory of funds
European competitors and in particular
the last financing we took
a loan
of the so-called european agency for sm
European agency for the innovation
small and medium-sized businesses
so this also allowed to
create a spin off of wisdom in
which these young people I told you about
they are putting their energies for
really bring into the real world that I have
called the market the solutions we have
developed within a project
which sub arche that puts two together
aspects of our being Italian goods
cultural and technology then develop
monitoring technologies and
monitoring the verification of the state of
conservation and enhancement of the
archaeological heritage submerged over one thousand
around the coast of Italy not
exploited and unattended is a story
so of made in Italy a little different
it’s not about pasta it’s not about
nutella is not about design
of technologies that arise from here that
they are developed here and then exported
with so many requests from industries to be
from governments as he because why these
technologies are at the heart of a
paradigmatic change in blue
economy the economy of the sea is more and more
the resources we need
come from this world if we think of the
food for an economy for a humanity that
grows if we think about cosmetics
if we think of the medicine, it’s ok
of these to natural resources e
precious minerals very much of that
that we need now from the environment
marine and it is a worthy economy
hundreds of billions of euro 5 million
of jobs in Europe only in
which at the moment we are protagonists
of a technological change for
make this economy more competitive
to lower costs to increase
what can be done for
exploit the environment in a sustainable way
marine
what are the applications
potentially endless to understand
this world and therefore understand
really the tectonics of ours
planet
we say phenomena like volcanism
in the submarine field has power in
effective way to control ours
maritime borders to react in the moment
in which they occur of natural disasters or
events like the shipwreck of the coast with
on concordia moreover the development of
systems for monitoring and
optimization for example
aquaculture hundreds of billions
of euros again is something that is
essential to be able to offer food that
it serves the humanity of the future
moreover the monitoring of the phases of
extraction in the transport stages of
natural gas oil or monitoring
of marine infrastructures such as ports
or still the wonderful world
truly fascinating archeology
marina taste said that in the moment in
he had the chance to see
in the sea his life was no longer there
itself no longer could conceive of it
life think living in the same way
with this sentence he shared with us a
emotion the moment he was in
able to overcome its limits and now
I would like us I would like my group
share this emotion with you today
to have developed technologies that
they will allow the next generation
explorer then the man in the middle
in 2030 to be able to go all the way
explore this big part of the
our planet and I hope maybe some
of young explorers are among the
your kids your own kids
here from thanks
